Important information needs to be shared with all those who can benefit. Only then can a discovery fulfill its potential for good. Yet researchers often communicate in silos. This means they commune with people in the same role (like researcher to researcher), field (such as economist to economist), or at the same site (like working at the same university) when sharing knowledge, seeking knowledge, making decisions, and collaborating. The way information is shared has changed dramatically in the past decade, and researchers should be aware of these changes, which bring new opportunities to spread findings. Give a TED Talk, get on NPR, have reporters come to you, become a book author (without the usual time investment)… there are so many ways to share your research, and many take very little time or effort. Keep reading for a handful of ideas.

Though nearly 5 million students can be characterized as gifted and talented in the United States, many exceptional learners "fly under the radar." Because they are not appropriately challenged in the general classroom, they never meet their full potential in school or in life. Author Jenny Grant Rankin equips general classroom teachers with the information and strategies they need to spot, advocate for, engage, and challenge exceptional learners in their classrooms. Learn how to recognize the challenges of each child, identify the five unexpected traits of exceptional learners, and adjust your teaching to meet the needs of <em>all</em> learners. Filled with useful strategies and poignant personal accounts, this book gives you the "meat" of what you need to prevent those students who need to be challenged and engaged from slipping through the cracks.

Standards for Reporting Data to Educators provides a synthesis of research and best practices of how data should be presented to educators in order to optimize the effectiveness of data use. Synthesizing over 300 sources of peer-reviewed research, expert commentary, and best practices, Rankin develops a set of data reporting standards that education data system vendors, providers, and creators can apply to improve how data is displayed for educators. The accurate and effective presentation of data is paramount to educators' ability to successfully implement and make use of the most current knowledge in the field. This important book reveals the most effective ways to communicate data to ensure educators can use data easily and accurately.

When many people hear the term “big data”, they primarily think of a technology tool for the collection and reporting of data of high variety, volume, and velocity. However, the complexity of big data is not only the technology, but the supporting processes, policies, and people supporting it. This paper was written by three experts to address all parts of a big data system: technology, processes, and people. Randall Dennis is Chief Strategy Officer for an education data analytics firm listed three times on the INC 5000, founder of a strategic consulting firm, and is directly involved in education data analytics product development. Dr. Jenny Rankin has been a teacher, school administrator, district administrator, and Chief Education & Research Officer of Illuminate Education. Dr. Margie Johnson has been the Business Intelligence Coordinator for Metro Nashville Public Schools for three years and empowers approximately 10,000 employees in data-informed decision-making.

The benefits of making data-informed decisions to improve learning rely on educators correctly interpreting given data. Many educators routinely misinterpret data, even at districts with proactive support for data use. The tool most educators use for data analyses, which is an information technology data system or its reports, typically reports data without guidance concerning the data’s proper analysis. A solution to data misinterpretation lies in applying medical labeling conventions to information technology to essentially offer educators over-the-counter data, meaning reports are paired with straightforward verbiage on the proper interpretation of contents. Findings from a quantitative study involving 211 educators of varied backgrounds and roles at nine schools throughout California included improvements to respondents’ data analysis accuracy by 205%-436% when one of varied forms of data analysis guidance was embedded within the information technology reporting environment.

In the field of Education, computerized data systems are used to manage, retrieve, and analyze information. Educators view this information in the form of data reports, which educators use to inform decisions that impact students. These decisions are frequently undermined by misunderstandings concerning the data and its implications. Yet data systems and their reports typically display data without any guidance concerning the data's proper analysis. In a quantitative study, medicine labeling conventions were applied to data systems to embed guidance in the proper use of contents. Among 211 educators of varied backgrounds and roles, data analyses were found to be 307% more accurate when a report label/footer was present, 205% more accurate when a 1-page reference sheet was present, and 273% more accurate when a reference guide was present. Findings hold implications for those who provide or use tools for high-stakes information retrieval, analysis, and/or management, particularly...

Data is critical, but data has not always lead to success. If data is not communicated clearly, the results can be disastrous. Design lets us communicate data so it can be understood. Dr. Rankin believes that “when we’re fluent in visualizing our ideas, we can communicate them across global boundaries, across spoken language barriers, and across other obstacles thrown in our paths.” In her talk, she illustrates how heroes effectively used data to communicate various messages and tells us about how we can communicate data more effectively by making data over-the-counter.
