Description:
SHEEO will hold the next in an ongoing series of Communities of Practice convenings on May 7-8, 2025, in Minneapolis, MN. The Communities of Practice convenings are a valuable opportunity for states to connect with their peers and reflect in-depth on the capacities, uses, barriers, and opportunities of their data systems. This two-day convening provides state policymakers, data practitioners, and researchers, time to explore practical strategies and tools for strengthening data literacy and transforming data into actionable insights. Through the convening, state teams will build ongoing knowledge and action networks to share best practices, discuss shared experiences, and collaborate on strategies and solutions with their counterparts in other states.
The upcoming Community of Practice will explore topics such as:
- Interpreting and communicating complex analyses for non-technical audiences.
- Addressing privacy concerns, ethical considerations, and regulatory compliance in data usage.
- Customizing data presentations and communications for multiple constituencies.
- Developing effective data visualizations and interactive tools to facilitate understanding.
- Empowering stakeholders to apply data insights to administrative challenges and decision-making.
- Creating programs to foster data literacy and skills at various levels of expertise.
- Building informed partnerships for customized data requests.
The Call for State Teams was opened on January 9. States interested in participating should submit a letter of interest by February 6, 2025.
