Implementation Tips
- Productive data engagement is not just about the data. It’s also about how data are approached, what questions are asked, and being willing to revise preconceptions.
- Establishing a clear purpose for data collection can help focus data collection efforts. It ensures that goals will drive the data, and not the reverse.
- Deliberative engagement with data is not a “one-shot” effort. It calls for a process of continuous learning and improvement.
