Make the data relevant to the classroom teacher, the classroom, and best practice 5. Debunk the perception that more data means more work; demonstrate what they will get out of the dataLaunching a Data TeamWhat roles must the data team utilize to accomplish goals?Data Team Roles & Responsibilities1.
