Train with DataWORKS to learn research-based Explicit Direct Instruction strategies through hands-on workshops, in-class demonstrations, and ongoing coaching that meet the needs of your teachers and students
DataWORKS is a proven, Tier-1, hands-on professional development provider that improves teacher practice, boosts student learning, and ensures instructional adjustments are made in real time—without waiting for test results.
Helping schools improve student learning by equipping teachers with research-based strategies in Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI). EDI is a clear and supportive way of teaching where teachers show, guide, and practice with students so everyone can succeed.
- We provide hands-on professional development to ensure teachers can implement effective instruction immediately.
- We train staff to engage students actively, use academic vocabulary consistently, model and check understanding, and adjust instruction in real time, to create a culture of instructional excellence.
DataWORKS helps schools bring their instructional plans to life without starting from scratch. We partner with school leadership to understand your culture and language, and if you already have frameworks, pedagogies, or initiatives in place, we help ‘actionalize’ them to accelerate your goals.
Practical Real-World Skills in the Classroom
Helping teachers with their challenging day by building skills they can rely on every day. Through EDI, teachers gain practical strategies for engagement, questioning, modeling, and checking for understanding – tools that improve efficiency, support real-time decision-making, and ensure every minute of instruction counts toward student learning.
I went through Dataworks training years ago in KCUSD. At Clay, we end each year with between 90-100% of our students on grade level in K – 3rd grade. Our CAASPP scores are incredible. We are 75% meets and exceeds in ELA and 75.5% in Math. Our science is at 65%! Our DFS increased by 10 points in both subjects which is great because our focus is growth.
Our EL students are actively engaged in using language through the pair-shares. Their engagement with the curriculum is stronger and more meaningful because they are actually using academic language in a non-threatening environment prior to doing work independently.
Creating Hope in Today’s Classroom
We inspire teachers to be more effective by providing them with practical strategies they can use with existing curriculum. The goal is that every student – whether ahead or behind – receives meaningful, engaging, and measurable learning opportunities.
