Hi, I’m Rob Jackson,
a Movement Scientist and Data Educator
who loves piloting data projects.
Below is an overview of the power of dashboards.
Building Data Use Capacity + Equity Analysis Tools
Our Work
Who: I have extensive training and experience in data management, visualization, and adult facilitation; specifically as it relates to education data management, and non-profit data-driven culture development. I am an educator obsessed with storytelling, community building, and practical innovation. All of my work operates within an intersectional equity framework. Meaning my analytical + diagnostic process is contained within a culturally responsive leadership framework, centering the most impacted and our relationship to power. All within the umbrella of Equity Diversity Inclusion & belonging (EDIB).
What: I have led discussion on Race + Common Good and diversity in education data science (LAK ’19). At the Data For Black Lives Conference I facilitated discussions with educators on spoke on the issue of implicit bias/ algorithmic racial bias in education data analysis. I as an educator and mentor I take pride in introducing folks to Data & Analytics, leading lecture series and providing personal coaching on data analysis, business insights, and project scoping + management.
How: I work to improve schools and schools systems using my background in learning analytics to cultivate data literacy in schools, build student centered data management plans and build metrics that support holistic student development. I primarily explore the impact of big data in education on education equity.
