Description

Data are where we start the conversation.

Data are how we decide where to go next.

Data are how we tell our stories.

At the time this resource is being published, educators across the globe are actively pivoting, innovating, and restructuring their learning environments. Our data show evidence of effective education, and monumental growth opportunities in our education system.

Administrators and policy-makers across the globe are using the information they see (data) to determine the next steps in education as a response to Covid-19. As your colleagues, we urge you to document your stories. Highlight the growth in your virtual classrooms. Highlight the needs that are not yet met.

This interactive PDF is accompanied by an editable advocacy toolkit: email templates, google forms, conversation starters, and much more.
