On How to start making sense of your data…
“Just start somewhere; it gives you a launching point. You’re going to learn a lot from the data, and there is no wrong answer because working with students is a very complicated thing, and there are so many things that impact the child. The starting point is just that – a starting point. And you’re only going to get stronger and more comfortable in learning how to best support your students.”
