Diving Into Data Workshop 2025
Data is a key ingredient to education reporting, from tracking closed schools and colleges to following the money school districts spend on helping students catch up after COVID-19. Here’s a way to take your data skills to a whole new level.
Apply now for EWA’s Diving Into Data Workshop. Participants will receive intensive, hands-on training from data coaches – veteran journalists adept at analyzing and reporting with education data. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced, the coaches will meet you where you are. Each participating journalist must come with a specific reporting project in mind and a dataset. The workshop offers tracks for Excel as well as R.
The workshop will run from late afternoon on Friday, Feb. 7, 2025 to 1 p.m. Mountain on Monday, Feb. 10, 2025. EWA member journalists can attend for free. Additionally, EWA covers most of the travel and three hotel nights. (If you’re not an EWA member, apply today. Membership is also free.)
Space is limited for this competitive program. Applicants must provide a letter of recommendation from their editor. (Email: data@ewa.org.) The deadline to apply is Thursday, Dec. 12 at 6 p.m. Eastern.
