Discussion Group

This presentation aims to serve as a hands-on Q&A workshop to support further development of dissemination skills using interactive infographic tools (i.e., Shorthand). We will discuss data visualization core principles and guidelines for making them accessible and friendly to a wide audience, demonstrate the use of Shorthand, tips for better data figures, and design ideas in accord with Jonathan Schwabish’s Better Data Visualization Book.

We will discuss SPDGs’ plans to support accelerated learning in the wake of the pandemic. CCSSO’s Restart and Recovery Framework will provide a basis for our conversation.

• What role can your SPDG play in your State’s restart and recovery?
• Can your project be leveraged to support improved family engagement?
• Which of the practices you support might be useful on a larger scale to accelerate learning?
• How can the SPDG assist with assessment that determines the needs of “returning” children?
