Who we are:

The Data Collaborative was developed to support community organizations’ dependency, understanding and use of literacy data. Eight local nonprofit organizations committed to using literacy data differently in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. These organizations serve children ages 6 months old to 3rd grade and each committed three leaders to strengthen their program’s routines around: literacy, evidence-based practices, implementation and improvement. Partners received a suite of supports from Read Charlotte including: training, coaching, tools and technical assistance to adopt data routines.

Come celebrate and learn with us as we complete three years of Read Charlotte's Data Collaborative initiative! Hear firsthand from leaders who participated. They will share their challenges, insights and what they do differently as a result of these data routines.

Our panelists:

Dr. Sheila Ijames, YWCA

Stephanie Watts, Charlotte Bilingual Preschool

Leslie Wilson, Ada Jenkins Center

Amanda Wilkinson, YMCA (Y Readers)

This event is for you if:

1. You are interested in how organizations can improve their impact by embedding data use in regular routines.

2. You are curious about how implementation (or process) data can be used to improve children's literacy.

3. You want to hear about the challenges and successes when using assessment to drive decision-making and action.

4. You are interested in literacy assessments, evidence-based practices, quality implementation and continuous improvement.

5. You are intrigued by the idea of an improvement mindset: a perpetual search for opportunities to improve.

While this session includes organizations focused on literacy, many other nonprofit and public sector organizations can benefit from the insights from this session. Once you RSVP using the link below, we will send you a calendar invite that will include the zoom video link for the event.

We hope you will join us!
