Teachers Know Best: Making Data Work Report
Role
- Interaction
- Visual Design
- Front-end Development
Education is changing. Schools are beginning to thoughtfully use data in order to personalize their students’ learning. However, there is a gap between the tools currently available, in the market, and what teachers actually need. The Gates Foundation developed Teachersknowbest.org as a resource for EdTech entrepreneurs to aid in the building of more effective digital products. Our team was tasked with investigating and distilling how teachers use data in the classroom into action items for developers.

- Our report contained the results of both quantitative and qualitative research. In order to not overwhelm users we peppered blocks, like the one pictured, on the summary page where users could deep dive into our data, in the form of pdfs or raw excel docs, should they want more information.
Over 4,500 teachers from innovative and mainstream schools were interviewed along with 15 software developers. We identified 9 opportunity areas where teachers needed the most help. With each opportunity we provided interview snippets, clear descriptions of the challenge and thought-starters.

How do you connect healthcare professionals interested in transitional care solutions? Our recommendation- an online portal for frontline healthcare professionals to share best practices around reducing hospital readmissions. Users can connect with their peers, take part in discussions, submit or recommend others to write stories about specific issues they’ve encountered.
We found that healthcare professionals were lacking a space to share their experiences and challenges around transitional care. The goal was for Huddleforcare to become that space.
