See this blog post with considerations for designing professional learning on:

🟠 Using both primary and secondary data to tell a more coherent story about phenomena.
🟠 Building educator confidence in using complex data sets.

[NextGenScience @NGSWestEd]

Connecting to students’ everyday lives and experiences through place-based education approaches can foster more meaningful learning experiences.
