10. Embedding Qualitative Data From a FSCS Executive Summary: Access and linkage to community resources in order to remove barriers to academic success is one of our most important supports available to families. Recently, a Family Liaison was working with a family with three children, all of whom were late to school every day at the start of the school year. The Family Liaison connected with this family, learning about the barriers that were preventing them from making it to school on time. She developed strategies with the mom to help encourage her children to wake up on time and be ready for the bus. From these strategies, the oldest child took it upon themself to be responsible for waking up their siblings in order for them to be at the bus stop on time. After four months of working with the Family Liaison, all three children have nearly perfect attendance and arrive to school on time daily. This family is one of 2,489 that was supported by a Family Liaison during this reporting period.

11. A CULTURE OF SHARED DATA & Data Decision Making • Drop nuggets when possible • Administrative meetings • Partnership meetings • Planning meetings • Always bring it back to the why • Let data (including stories) lead the conversations and decision making

12. QUESTIONS?

13. Group Discussion • What is your best evaluation strength? • What is your trickiest evaluation challenge? • What non-traditional evaluation techniques have you used? • What is one evaluation goal you want to reach before the school year ends?
