📊 This month, we're focusing on data use — one of the most powerful tools a community has for improving outcomes for children and families.
Throughout the month, we'll be sharing why data use matters, how communities are putting it into practice, and what it looks like when partners share, analyze and act on information together.
So why does data use matter?
Communities that use data well are better positioned to see which children are falling behind — and design solutions that actually reach them.
A study by the American Educational Research Association across 59 school districts and seven states found that those that collected, interpreted and used student performance data produced significant improvements in student achievement compared to those that didn't.
When communities invest in shared data infrastructure, they can:
✔️ Identify which children are missing opportunities before it becomes a crisis
✔️ Track whether strategies are actually working
✔️ Direct resources where they're needed most
✔️ Sustain momentum toward long-term change
Data isn't just a technical practice — it's how communities turn shared goals into shared results.

How do we connect the dots from early education all the way to workforce outcomes, while measuring the progress in between?
The Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Framework from Mathematica was built to answer that question. The Training Hub Powered by StriveTogether has a course to help leaders understand and apply it.
Facilitated by StriveTogether's own Ashwina Kirpalani-Vasanjee, you'll explore the framework's essential questions, indicators, metrics and Data Principles — and learn how to use it alongside the StriveTogether playbooks to drive progress on critical cradle to career milestones.
