Street Data Institute: Embracing an Abundance Mindset

Education can be transformed if we eradicate our fixation on big data like standardized test scores as the supreme measure of equity and learning. Instead of focusing on “filling” academic gaps, we must re-envision the system from the ground up—with classrooms, schools and systems built around students’ brilliance, cultural wealth, and intellective capacity. This call to action has never been more timely. By breaking down street data fundamentals: what it is, how to gather it, and how it can complement other forms of data to guide a school or district’s equity journey, author Shane Safir will offer an actionable framework for school transformation and Aaron Tyo-Dickerson will share a curated selection of technology tools and services designed to streamline your Street Data workflow.
