Welcome to SDP Winter Workshop 2025! In this virtual workshop, you will learn alongside your cohort, plus the other active cohort in the SDP Fellowship.

For first-year fellows in Cohort 16, the theme of this workshop is "Launching Your Analytic Project", and they will learn about analysis planning, project management, and more. For second-year fellows in Cohort 15, the theme of this workshop is "Embedding and Sustaining Change", and while taking time to maximize and share the impact of their capstone work, they will shift their perspective to consider organizational factors in improvement and transformation.

We are also excited for the two cohorts to meet and learn about each other, and learn together, in specific networking sessions, as well as learning experiences that are open to participants across both cohorts.

PREWORK:

STEP 1: Please rank your top two choices of the above Ethics Breakout Sessions by January 24th.  You will be assigned to your session by Friday, January 31st. You will need to complete the pre-reading based on the session you are assigned (if applicable) before the breakouts on February 10th.

Survey: https://forms.office.com/r/dHGhsZmUur

STEP 2: Complete by January 31st . Please accept 3 $10 Donors Choose gifts that you can distribute to any project(s) you want. Donors Choose is a nonprofit organization that allows you to donate directly to public school classroom projects. Your first step is to search Donors Choose for the projects you wish to invest in. Then, find your name in this spreadsheet and use the three assigned gift codes next to your name to make three ten-dollar donations. You can allocate all of them in any configuration (all to one project, for example), but they must be in 10$ increments. Add the name of the project you supported with each code and the link to the cause. Enjoy!

STEP 3: Complete after Day 1 Session on February 4. Complete this self-assessment and submit the copy of your responses to this folder prior to the Day 2 session on February 10.

SESSION DESCRIPTION:
The rapid pace of data innovation has not been matched by a parallel growth in the analysis of the ethical implications of our work. Data analytics has been long conceived to be value-neutral, a technocrat's endeavor. However, working with education data is ultimately a human endeavor, beset with choices that will have real implications for students, educators, and families.

The most important and challenging choices SDP fellows will face are not necessarily about coding or models, nor will they be straight-forward options between good and bad. This session will focus on four traditional frames of ethical deliberation and apply them to common data ethics scenarios. SDP Fellows will attend one of the following breakout sessions:

Ethics of Gaming – Michael LaMont, Cohort 7 on the Atlanta Public Schools Cheating Scandal

Ethics of Experimentation – Cara Jackson, Cohort 5 on when it is okay and not okay to experiment with students

Ethics of Privacy – Marika Pfefferkorn, Twin Cities Innovation Alliance to present on data sharing early warning indicator data across public agencies

Other Session Materials:
- Data Ethics Scenarios
- Data Ethics Workbook
