Data Literacy and Storytelling for Cities

Is that a fact? How do I know? Data are critical to helping local leaders make wise and strategic decisions. Local governments have gigabytes of data but often don’t know how to use their data effectively or how to visualize and interpret the data they do have. This class focuses on the importance of teaching a basic understanding of data literacy geared towards the needs of local government officials. This class will expose officials to data literacy, storytelling and performance management topics. Participants will receive tips, tools and other resources for interacting, interpreting and presenting data.
