The best books about data storytelling aren’t always about charts.

In my latest article, I share six books that shaped how I think about clarity, context, and action.

Good school data creates understanding. Great school data creates movement. My newest article, The Last Mile, explores the gap between interpreting data and actually changing what happens next for students. Article in comments. 👇 #Education #DataStorytelling #MTSS

Rolling Stone calls it a masterpiece. Variety calls it his best of the century. Paul McCartney's 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane' is out now, and the reviews speak for themselves. And they're right. https://t.co/ZKgRAhXRWS

Paul McCartney's new track “Momma Gets By” is a full-circle masterpiece, writes @robsheff.

Put a chart on a screen in a meeting, and it rarely stays “just a chart.”

It becomes an inkblot.

People see curriculum problems, attendance issues, accountability pressure, initiative fatigue, or judgment.

Same chart. Different stories.

Every school dashboard starts with a purpose.

Over time, many become digital junk drawers:
another metric, another filter, another initiative, another “just one more” request.

New article:
“When Dashboards Become Junk Drawers”

Clarity requires maintenance.

Two lenses for better school data:

Investigate the chart (G.A.S.P.)
Solve the case (Clarity, Context, Action)

That’s how charts lead to decisions.

For years, I used red, yellow, and green in school board reports.

The data was there. The meaning wasn’t always clear.

I’m shifting to a “Gray Plus One” approach:
• Gray = context
• Color = meaning

A small change that makes the story obvious.

Most school data charts aren’t wrong.
They’re just not the final form.

Same data. Different experience. Different interpretation. Different action.
