26: Supporting Team Collaboration Through Data
More data isn’t helping schools, it’s overwhelming them. When teams don’t have the right access, clarity, or structures, data creates confusion instead of improvement. This episode breaks down the three leadership conditions that turn data into collaboration: easy access, usability, and public discussion.
In This Episode:
- Why too much data overwhelms teams
- What “easy access” and “usable data” actually mean
- How to build safety and structure for real data conversations
- Why different teams need different data for different questions
Key Takeaway:
Effective data use isn’t about more dashboards. It’s about the systems leaders build. When data is accessible, usable, and safe to discuss, teams stop working in silos and start solving problems together.
