The Data Literacy Credential
Brought to you by The Academy at NHSA in partnership with Acorn Evaluation, Inc.
Empower your team with a positive view of data!
We get it. At a Head Start program, data can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be!
The Academy at NHSA's Data Literacy Credential is designed for Early Head Start and Head Start professionals just like you - you complete one eight-week course (offered three times each year).
The curriculum includes online videos, Q&A sections, two in-person one-hour Zoom classes per week, and an individual portfolio project specifically designed to help implement what is learned back at your program.
You'll learn a lot, earn valuable continuing education credits (CEUs), make friends, and return to your program happier and healthier about all things data! We promise!
