Big data broke their trust.Tiny data will rebuild it.

The Tiny Data Project is a free pledge for school leaders, built on the book Data-Informed, People-Driven.

You don't need the book to start. Just a commitment to change.

Sign the pledge. It's free Read the pledge

The biggest data costs the most
and returns the least.

Look at where the money goes, and what it actually returns.

Big data doesn't just underperform.
It makes teachers feel judged instead of supported.
Tiny data teaches them to trust again.

The pledge.

The book in six lines. Your signature draws the line on how data gets used in your building.

  1. Culture over tools.I'll check the trust before I roll out the dashboard, or it just sits on a shelf.Chapter 1 · Understanding Data Culture
  2. Cut before you add.I'll kill the reports nobody acts on. A number that changes nothing isn't data, it's clutter.Chapter 2 · From Overload to Clarity
  3. Context before conclusions.I'll ask what the data doesn't show before I act on what it does.Chapter 3 · A Data-Literate School
  4. Tiny data, then a move.The exit ticket beats the dashboard, and every check ends in a decision, not a page of notes.Chapter 4 · Data Literacy in Daily Practice
  5. Systems, not heroes.I'll build what runs on a system, not on the one person who always picks up the slack.Chapter 5 · Systems That Support Data Use
  6. Support over surveillance.Data is backup in my building, never a gotcha. If it feels heavy, I fix the system, not the people.Conclusion · The Human Side of Data
Data-Informed, People-Driven

These six are the spine. Chapters 7 through 11, training, visualization, embedding systems, measuring impact, the future, are the build: the machinery you don't sign, you use.
The pledge holds the spine. The book holds the build.
