Regional Data Leads
Regional Data Leads (RDLs) are members of the Ohio Educational Data Professionals Network who work at the regional level. They provide professional development, technical assistance, and coaching support to educators to strengthen professional practice and improve learning for all students.
Regional Data Leads have extensive training and experience with a broad range of data and reports resulting from Ohio’s accountability systems and educator effectiveness programs. They foster a culture of data reliance by promoting a consistent understanding of education data through offering technical assistance to school administrators and teachers.
Regional Data Leads are located at ESCs and SSTs throughout the state. Services from Regional Data Leads are available to all districts and community schools based on partnerships with the Department.

3. Be Affiliated with an Educational Service Center (ESC) or a State Support Team (SST)
Regional Data Leads must either be employed by or affiliated with an ESC and/or SST. Ohio’s goal is for every district and school in the state to have affordable access to high-quality support in using data to identify educational problems and help identify and monitor credible solutions. RDLs help support this goal by providing regional supports through their affiliation with an ESC and/or SST.
