Data Learning

To ensure AEA staff across the state share a common understanding of accessing, interpreting, and analyzing Future Ready data to support the LEAs we serve, learning modules are available for individual and team learning. Please use the recommendations below at your discretion based on the unique roles and needs of your AEA. Additional modules are being developed that will further differentiate the learning.

**Staff may not need to complete all learning modules if they have prior knowledge. Use the pre-assessment located within the module to determine entry points.
