Welcome to Educational Data Talks!
Meet our Founders:
Tim and Anna are education researchers and coaches who are passionate about improving the quality of professional development for schools and their educators. We share a love for equity, evidence, and enjoy analysing global education research in order to create meaningful frameworks and instruments for our clients. After working for more than twenty years in schools, academia, and corporate education spaces, Educational Data Talks was born. Today, we collaborate with systems, schools, educators, and families, to provide accessible, tailored solutions to real education problems.
Our mission is clear: Evidence informed education for all.
