Data can tell a story, but only if we know how to read it.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Curt Merlau, Vice President of Resultant’s Education Practice, to talk about how schools can move from simply admiring data to actually acting on it.

Curt shares how his team uses technology and human-centered design to make data meaningful, improve mental-health supports, and give educators the tools they need to make smarter, faster decisions.

We dig into AI, early intervention, and why no dashboard or algorithm can replace an educator’s intuition – or their heart.
