• Administer your equity survey created from Data Driven Equity I again before April Break so you have two sets of data.

• Use the tutorial materials below to clean up both sets of data before the session. The tutorial is a powerpoint with embedded audio on each slide. You will likely need to download the powerpoint to play the audio easily.  Please send your completed, cleaned up data sets to Erin at borthwie@bc.edu by April 21st.  Please don't send the sample data - send your survey data once you have "cleaned" it up using the tutorial below.

• Complete the LLA Fellows Pre-work Data Driven Leadership II Questions on the google site.

• Optional: Complete focus groups or interviews related to your EII to collect additional qualitative data from students or staff.

If you need assistance with the data clean-up, Erin will hold some Office Hours at the following times to support:

• Tuesday, April 11th 4:00-5:00pm

• Friday, April 14th 8:30-10:30am
