Data Crunching & Analysis

Project details

What we need
  • Analysis of one dataset
  • Document articulating discoveries from analysis
Additional details

We are partway through this project and need additional help skilled at Python to help clean our data and prep for analysis. We collect pre/post data on our reading outcomes for all of our students. The data is in Google Sheets. We need to get clean the data in each student tab and then put it into a flat file for analysis.

We are looking for someone to:
1. manipulate and clean the data in our Google spreadsheets.
2. develop a set of responses that are standardized for our data collection.

What we have in place
  • We currently have existing data in Google Sheets, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have 5 years of data, access to Airtable, an ERD, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,154 , allowing us to teach another child to read.

We teach kids to read. We know that by watching them read. But we also need to tell that story through independent assessments. Our data is there, but it needs to be unlocked. Helping us with this project will allow us to do the data analysis and give us even more compelling evidence of our outcomes.
