We strive to be a compassionate, dynamic learning community that demonstrates integrity, respect, and sustainability, guided by Montessori principles.

• · Work with Chief Development Officer, School Directors, and Montessori Mentor annually to confirm or revise academic measurements for external reporting.
• · Assess data requirements for ROI and strategic alignment in consultation with the Executive Director. Identify low-value tasks, determine which can be automated, and consolidate entry requirements wherever possible.
• · Support Directors and Supervisors as they receive and respond to data requests throughout the year.
• · Train/support stakeholders in creating or downloading reports – for their own data needs as well as for the external and internal reports the Data Manager uses.
• · Work with software vendors, as needed, to enhance our ability to create reports, to request them to create reports, and to understand how to interpret the data.
