Learning Question: First Step Towards Taking Action
COVID-19 has drastically changed many aspects of our day to day lives including our jobs, businesses and industries as a whole. For those of us in the social sector, we are currently faced with serving communities whose needs are growing and changing at an unprecedented pace.
It’s overwhelming and challenging to know exactly where to start.
Our process begins with setting a learning question – a question you have about your program, initiative, or community that you can answer through data. This will be your guiding point to help understand how recent events have affected your community and make data-driven decisions to navigate through these changes.
Start defining your learning question with our Learning Question Toolkit.
