Every color on your screen is really just three tiny lights: red, green, and blue.

One color, three systems: glowing pixels, hex codes, printed ink. Simple math, no coding needed.

What does a panicking KFC manager have in common with a frozen grant writer? Both confronted basic math and blinked. Chapter 7 of Mismatched names the pattern: the Lotta Chicken Principle. The sorting machine doesn't just sort students. It sorts everyone.

EDSTAR Analytics has a new look. The standard behind it has not changed: 32 years turning educational data into better decisions. Evidence you can use, not just report. https://t.co/uXBvOkggkL

Your printer doesn't use red, yellow, and blue. Your screen doesn't either. So why did we all learn those were the "primary" colors?
Dr. Janet Johnson explains how computers (and printers) actually make color.

Three students won a regional MathCounts competition. The counselor said they "weren't the kinds of students who take advanced math." Watch chapter 5 of "Mismatched" now where Dr. Janet Johnson explains what gatekeeping really looks like. https://t.co/Zux4LVcFHP #Education

A manager froze at a simple math problem. A napkin fixed it in minutes.

Chapter 4 of "Mismatched" — "Lotta Chicken, Lotta Boxes" — is live. The real lesson isn't about chicken.

We've known for decades that schools use demographics instead of achievement data to decide which students get access to advanced mathematics. So why hasn't anything changed?

The education system's greatest trick: making those it excludes believe they failed individually.

Decades of technology. Billions in federal requirements. K-12 still lacks basic data skills.

Why do tech professionals and educators constantly talk past each other?

In the first episode of "Working in the Dark," Dr. Janet Johnson pulls back the curtain on an invisible divide that has shaped K-12 education for decades.

Check out the newest release by our President and CEO, Janet Johnson 👇

[janetjohnsonwrites @janetjwrites]

Progress begins with understanding.

Education data exists—but too often it doesn’t reach those who need it most. Drawing on 30 years of experience, Janet Johnson shows how transparency empowers educators and students.

Working in the Dark reveals the gap—and how to close it.

[janetjohnsonwrites @janetjwrites]

Many students graduate HS to land in remedial college math—costly courses that don’t count toward a degree. In NC, we evaluated a pilot to fix this early and used NotebookLM to share the findings.

[EDSTAR Analytics,Inc @EDSTARAnalytics]

For decades, federal grants served "at-risk" students—without ever defining it or checking if programs worked.
Our research only reaches academics. So we used NotebookLM to turn our essay into a podcast.
More people need to know what the data revealed. https://t.co/IlyWPCwtqE

[EDSTAR Analytics,Inc @EDSTARAnalytics]

Problem: this knowledge lives in academic journals that parents and educators never read.

Solution: AI tools like NotebookLM let me turn research into podcasts and videos anyone can follow.

I'm making the invisible visible.

The lack of educational support for trade careers is beginning to show. These essential jobs are often seen as 'second-choice'. What can we do?

It's simple: focusing on how we speak about trade work to young adults can make a huge impact.

Throughout my life, I have identified several missed opportunities in the US education system. Although we have come a long way, I hope to bring awareness to how we can use data to further improve educational opportunities for all students.
