Our Mission

here exists to support educators in becoming confident, capable researchers in their own schools. We believe that those closest to students should be equipped to ask questions, gather meaningful data, and use evidence to drive decisions—without relying solely on external experts or generic solutions.

This is a space to build skills, try new tools, and strengthen your capacity to evaluate and improve your own practice. We offer hands-on resources, plain-language guidance, and a community of fellow educators invested in learning through inquiry.

Whether you're just getting started with data or ready to dive deeper into research, here is where you’ll find the support, encouragement, and practical help you need to lead with clarity and confidence.

Who’s Behind This?

here was created by Andy Accettola, a K–12 educator with a PhD in Research Methodology in Education from Loyola University Chicago. It’s built on the belief that schools deserve the tools to lead their own inquiry, evaluation, and improvement.

The resources you’ll find here are built for classroom educators, instructional coaches, and school leaders who want to make meaningful, data-informed decisions on their own terms.

You’ll find practical templates, evidence-based tools, and real stories from the field. And whether you’re flying solo or working with a team, you’re not alone. We’re growing a network of educator-researchers who are tackling real challenges together.
