The document discusses the multi-modal curriculum developed by the Data Wise project at Harvard Graduate School of Education. It aims to provide accessible learning experiences on data-driven decision making through various platforms, including online courses, intensive retreats, and a digital portfolio. The curriculum features foundational training on the Data Wise improvement process, skill-building exercises using interactive data visualization tools, and a highly structured online version of their popular on-campus leadership institute for school teams. The goal is to develop alternative offerings that retain the richness of in-person experiences while improving access to both participant data and digital assets as the project expands.
