Join Sam Ribnick and Danielle Kane from the Massachusetts Education-to-Career Research and Data Hub (E2C Hub) on Thursday, June 13 from 12:00 - 1:00 PM to learn how the E2C Hub makes it easier for the public to find and use public data on school programs, trends, and outcomes in their reporting. In this workshop, we’ll explore the new resource, look at a few examples of data stories and dashboards, and show you how to work with education datasets to create data visualizations that are accurate, local, and relevant to your readers. Participants may receive follow-up support for their data project from the E2C Hub team. No data experience is necessary.
