Data Institute

Institute Overview

Provides institutional teams opportunities to engage in collaborative learning to identify strengths, needs, and opportunities in leveraging disaggregated data to intentionally SERVE Latino students. With data foundational to the Seal of Excelencia framework and core to institutional transformation, the Institute is highly beneficial for institutions beginning their journey of intentionally serving Latino, and all, students. Institute offers 22 hours of Excelencia technical assistance to: 1) examine institutional capacity and scope to disaggregate data to inform daily operations and decision-making; 2) identify data literacy and coaching needs to create campus cultures of inquiry; and 3) advance their strategic equity-centered initiatives by examining the collection, usage and dissemination of disaggregated data. For more information, read our Overview.

  • The Data Institute is most beneficial for institutions that are committed to exploring how to authentically and intentionally SERVE their students by deconstructing the “S” as Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) or emerging HSIs.

Testimonio

"...the Data Institute has been a positive catalyst for how we view our processes, our institution, how we utilize the data, and how further we can dive into our own campus and our own issues to really serve ALL of our students better. This is for the benefit of all our students across the spectrum, beyond the Seal this is something that I would strongly recommend every institution to be a part of.

Whether you’re an e-HSI or fully acknowledged HSI this is a wonderful melting pot of ideas for everyone to take away and implement. The wealth of knowledge from the speakers that Excelencia staff brings from across the nation and their willingness to share their experiences good AND bad to be better. Everyone wants to hear the good, this is not that, this is about being realistic, being pragmatic and about what we are doing to in the best interest of our students. This is truly a way for everyone to come to the table and be better.

We are still in compliance (SB17) and can still do the work within the context of our own rules and our own state, and that’s important to institutions."
