NJSPRA Special Webinar
How to Write More Positive
and Credible Headlines With Data
February 10th - 12:00-1:00 p.m.
With the release of New Jersey state data this winter, districts face a critical moment to move beyond raw numbers and tell an accurate, evidence based story about student performance. Data, communicated correctly, has the power to transform the narrative of your school district. This webinar will provide school leaders with a new way of looking at data so that when helping build out presentations for the board of education, communicating data on your district’s website, or providing information to local media, you are communicating with clarity and showing the district’s true impact. A concrete three-step approach will be offered along with numerous examples that demonstrate the power of using data to create positive and credible communications.
