Your learning path
Only 17% of teachers report receiving data training during their preparation programs, despite 77% saying their school leaders encourage them to use data (EdWeek/Data Science 4 Everyone, 2025). A 2025 scoping review of 276 studies confirmed persistent confusion between assessment literacy and data literacy, with most training prioritising analysis over instructional application. This pathway closes that gap — teaching teachers not just to read data, but to ask the right questions, recognise the limits of evidence, and translate findings into next-day teaching decisions.
