In this example, the box plot illustrates the number of suspensions issued by each school during each year. The boxes represent the range of the majority of the data, with the horizontal line indicating the mean value. Each dot then indicates an outlier, a variable (or school) that exceeds the rest of the data.
This tool has been created to support teams when using The Learning Accelerator (TLA)’s Data Advocacy Guide. This workbook intends to foster productive dialogue within stakeholder groups to guide the collection and analysis of data to better advocate for the needs of students.
This document provides a step-by-step approach to designing and executing an edtech pilot program, reflecting on the data collected, and deciding whether to ditch, scale, or iterate on a tool. Users can utilize this note-taking resource to capture learnings, discussion questions, and observations throughout the pilot.

In order to effectively and consistently capture notes from the focus groups, KIPP MA created a note-catcher document that contains an introductory script, the questions to be asked, and a notes section for each attendee.
KIPP MA created a list of focus group questions for each audience they engaged with, including teachers, leaders, students, and families. The questions were grouped into six different themes, including student outcomes, student agency, digital literacy, support for all learners, conditions for success, and school-home connection.
To facilitate analyzing and synthesizing the data associated with the implementation of a new program or project, use this activity to chart your measurement journey along the way.
