Making School Data Meaningful with Angie Eilers, CEO and Co-Founder of UR Turn

Off the Assembly Line

What do we do with all this data? In the last 20 years we've experienced a data revolution in K-12 education, but for most educators and parents, it's felt more like a deluge. When Angie Eilers found herself struggling to draw real insights from the complex data in her children's school reports, she knew she couldn't be the only one. And with a background in research, she knew a solution that translated complex data to actionable insights would be game changing for both educators and students. On this episode, Angie shares the founding story of UR Turn, an app that helps students take control of their educational journey, and we discuss what we can do to make data meaningful for students.
