Making Arizona’s Education Data Easier to Understand

Arizona Education Progress Meter

The Arizona Education Progress Meter provides a clear picture of how Arizona is doing across key education milestones, from early learning through postsecondary attainment.


The data helps identify where Arizona is making progress, where gaps remain, and where greater attention is needed to ensure more students have the opportunity to succeed.


My work focuses on helping translate the Progress Meter into clear, approachable communications that connect the numbers to the bigger story of Arizona’s students, workforce, and future.

Bringing the Story Across Channels

Messaging & Storytelling

Translate education data into clear, audience-friendly messages without losing the meaning behind the numbers.

Integrated Communications

Carry the story across web, email, social, media relations, presentations, and other organizational communications.

Content

Development

Develop and shape content that gives the data context and connects education outcomes to Arizona’s broader future.

Connecting the Dots

No single indicator tells us everything about education in Arizona.


Together, the Progress Meter indicators help show how experiences throughout a student’s education journey connect—and where Arizona has opportunities to improve outcomes from early learning through education after high school.


My work is about helping people see those connections, not just the individual numbers.

Why It Matters

The Progress Meter gives us more than numbers to share. It helps us understand where there is momentum, where challenges remain, and where communications can help build greater awareness and understanding.


I use those insights to help shape content priorities, identify timely stories, and connect Progress Meter findings to broader conversations about education, workforce, and Arizona’s future.



That makes the data part of an ongoing communications strategy—not something we only talk about when new numbers are released.
