“I’ve been through data analysis courses and trainings, but it really clicked with Dr. Shelley. She gave us tools to use and walked us through the process of analyzing and game planning in a step-by-step process, resulting in not just improved test scores but also teaching strategies and pedagogy districtwide. Dr. Shelley changed the conversations in our district to be focused on what matters most!”
