    Slow Dance With Stakeholders: Setting the Pace in North Carolina, Part One

    Episode 23

    Release Date: April 27, 2023

    Guests: Kelley Blas, Part B Data Manager and SPP/APR Coordinator, and Lauren Holahan, SSIP Coordinator, North Carolina Department of Public Instruction 

    Leading a dance is a lot of responsibility. You must send clear signals to your partner, keep the rhythm, and make sure not to step on anyone’s toes. Similarly, even for experienced practitioners, the pace and rhythm of incoming data can feel a lot like a complex and delicate dance. For stakeholders, it can be positively overwhelming, leading to confusion, frustration, and a lack of engagement. In the first of this two-part A Date with Data, host Amy Bitterman learns more about how North Carolina is trying to be a good dance partner to its stakeholders by putting in place a structured process for engagement, responding to feedback, and learning the value of taking things slow. So put on your dancing shoes and join us, won’t you?
