Imagine being able to build out a fully-functional, interactive dashboard that is used and appreciated by people in your organization.

When it comes to your school’s data, you could spend tens of thousands of dollars on programs that you use only a fraction of because they kind of work.

OR

You could have someone in your organization trained to build the perfect system for your school using free tools already in the Google Workspace ecosystem.

And that person might be you !

It’s time to stop wasting the few moments you have between prepping for the curriculum committee meeting, coaching middle school basketball, and being on bus duty searching the Internet for something geared toward schools and educators.

Let me help you make sense of your data.

“Quick, efficient, and determined are three words I would use to describe Chris Smith. He helped me with a project to organize all my Google Workspace creations. He was able to take my spreadsheet and create an amazing database to help educators quickly search for resources. I am so thankful for Chris because he was able to save me time, allow a collaborative environment, and help organize my digital creations. Chris can definitely help you meet your Looker Studio needs.”​

Fun Fact

According to the Data Quality Campaign (DQC)

0 %

of teachers

use data to collaborate with other teachers to support student learning.

However, only

0 %

of teachers

say they don’t have time during the school day to review data, even though they view data as valuable to gain insights about student learning and provide a roadmap for instruction.

Data Dashboards can help.

You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars on platforms and other systems that are used only some of the time. Why pay for features for applications that aren’t even used? What if you could design a platform that works for your school, in your own way?

You can do it.

Let me help guide you through it and empower you to take control of your own data.

"Chris is meticulous in explaining the formulas and setup of the various tabs in his example spreadsheets. I love how the training is focused on individuals in the education field."
