Join us for our South Dakota Education Equity Coalition's monthly call! We'll be joined by special guest, Xanna Burg.

Xanna Burg is the Director of South Dakota KIDS COUNT. She brings a background in public health and a passion for translating data into meaningful insights and policies that improve the lives of children and families. Xanna works to ensure South Dakota KIDS COUNT provides timely, relevant, and reliable data to help communities and decision-makers better understand the well-being of South Dakota’s children and identify opportunities for positive change.

What do children need to thrive? Connecting data, systems, history, and outcomes.

Children’s well-being is shaped by the systems and environment around them, from classrooms and teachers to families, their community, and economic factors. Xanna Burg will draw on South Dakota KIDS COUNT research, including a closer look at teacher representation and its importance for educational outcomes, to understand how data, systems, historical context, and outcomes can help policymakers better understand where meaningful policy solutions are needed.

RSVP today! You'll receive a Zoom link in the event confirmation.
