We're testing data literacy all wrong. Multiple-choice quizzes measure memorization while real decisions require navigating ambiguity and uncertainty. Discover how AI coaching transforms assessment from scoring answers to developing critical thinking at scale.
Traditional tests miss the mark. Real data literacy means thinking, not memorizing. Discover how generative AI can coach critical reasoning skills at scale, building true data fluency for the next generation.
Schools speak in scores. Parents speak in patterns. When your child's test results say 'fine' but you see daily struggles, something's missing. Learn to spot what assessment data hides and become your child's strongest advocate with data-smart parenting skills.
Data is everywhere, shaping decisions in business, policy, and everyday life. But its presence alone is not enough. Its true power lies in how we interpret and apply it.
Years ago, my relationship with data was built on absolutes. With a background in math and statistics, I viewed data points as objective facts, unquestionable and self-evident. But life has a way of disrupting rigid beliefs.
As a parent to an autistic child, I quickly learned that data alone never tells the whole story. Behind every data point is a human experience. One that requires context, empathy, and perspective to fully understand. What looked like "behavioral trends" in a dataset took on a much deeper meaning when I saw how my child interacted with the world. The data wasn't wrong, but it was incomplete.
That realization changed everything.
I began to see misinterpretations of data everywhere: in education, in business, in media. I watched as people made sweeping judgments and policy decisions based on isolated statistics without questioning their sources, considering alternative viewpoints, or challenging underlying assumptions.
This lack of critical thinking was alarming. It became clear that data literacy is not just about numbers, it's about asking better questions, recognizing biases, and understanding the broader story.
This personal awakening reshaped my professional mission. My work is not just about teaching data skills, it's about helping people use data responsibly, ethically, and effectively.
Working with corporate organizations, government agencies, and industry leaders worldwide to design and implement data literacy, analytics, and decision-making strategies that drive real business impact.
As a university professor, sharing knowledge and developing the next generation of data-literate professionals through curriculum development and classroom instruction.
Writing extensively on data literacy, decision-making, and bias mitigation, contributing to the movement that makes data more accessible, meaningful, and actionable.
Helping professionals build confidence in using data, communicate insights effectively, recognize biases, and integrate technical skills with human judgment for better decision-making.
The risk of misinterpreting data isn't confined to one sector. It's a societal issue. Poor data interpretation can lead to flawed business strategies, ineffective policies, and misinformed personal choices. But when we go beyond surface-level statistics and seek to understand the assumptions, limitations, and narratives behind data, we unlock a new level of decision-making power.
