Dr Selena Fisk | School data coach and consultant
Selena Fisk

Selena is a data storyteller who is passionate about helping schools sort through the ‘numbers’ to tell the real stories and lead positive change. She fiercely advocates for a world in which we are all data-informed, not data-driven; yet she realises that this isn’t a skill set that we all have or are confident in.
 
As a data coach and storyteller, Selena is as enthusiastic about building data storytelling skills in educators as she is about building her own understanding of the evolving ways data can support students, teachers and schools to flourish and thrive. For Selena, using data in a way that benefits school communities is the only way to use it. Almost nothing will accelerate the impact we can have as teachers like being able to see trends in the numbers, and using this information alongside our understanding of context to inform our classroom and school decisions.  
 
In her role as a school data coach, Selena has mentored senior, system and middle leaders, as well as hundreds of teachers in data storytelling, which has positively impacted the schools in which they work. Capitalising on her 16 years' teaching experience, she has developed resources to promote data storytelling in schools, including an online self-paced data storytelling course, and two books through Hawker Brownlow Education and Solution Tree.
