AI & Data Literacy is Not Just for Students: Empowering Educators with 21st Century Skills
In today’s schools, data isn’t optional — it’s essential.
School leaders are expected to analyze ACT and ACAP performance, identify trends, close achievement gaps, and implement improvement initiatives — all while leading faculty, supporting students, and planning strategically for the future.
QuantHub was built to support that work.
As a modular learning platform free to ALSDE public schools, QuantHub offers interactive, real-world learning pathways that strengthen critical skills in:
- Data Science
- AI Foundations
- Excel & Data Analysis
- ACT-Aligned Math & Science preparation
- Data Literacy and more
Our learning modules are known for their real-world application and intuitive design. Students consistently describe QuantHub as “not just problems on a page.” Instead, lessons are delivered through contextualized scenarios, simulations, and practical applications that connect skills directly to modern workplace expectations.
QuantHub is also ESSA III Certified, meaning independent research studies have statistically proven that students using the platform demonstrate measurable improvement in data science, data literacy, AI understanding, and awareness of modern technology tools.
But the impact doesn’t stop with students.
Professional Learning Opportunities for Administrators
QuantHub also offers structured opportunities for administrators to earn PLU (Professional Learning Unit) credit through two specialized learning pathways designed specifically for school leaders. Either pathway can be selected based on personal development goals or your school’s priorities.
Our PLU curriculum equips administrators to confidently analyze and leverage their own school’s ACT or ACAP data to drive measurable improvement.
Instead of abstract theory, these pathways guide you through structured analysis of real school data — with support and clear deliverables that qualify for PLU credit.
Pathway 1: Foundations of Data Literacy
12 Hours of PLU Credit (Customizable for ACAP or ACT)
This pathway builds essential data competencies for educational leaders through three core focus areas: Data literacy and analysis, Data-driven decision making, and Communication and collaboration.
What You’ll Complete:
- 3 Levels of learning in the QuantHub platform
- One case study using your school’s data
- A capstone project
Capstone Focus:
Work directly with your school’s ACT or ACAP data to:
- Analyze patterns
- Create visualizations
- Identify achievement gaps
- Develop actionable improvement strategies
This pathway is ideal for administrators seeking a strong foundation in data analysis and school-based decision making.
Pathway 2: Advancing Data Analysis for School Improvement
20 Hours of PLU Credit (Customizable for ACAP or ACT)
This advanced pathway deepens expertise in: Data literacy, Data-driven leadership, Data management & security, Data wrangling, SQL fundamentals, Exploratory data analysis, and Data ethics.
What You’ll Complete:
- 4 Levels of learning in the QuantHub platform
- Two case studies using school data
- A comprehensive capstone project
Capstone Focus:
Analyze multiple school measures — including attendance, discipline, and academic performance — to drive strategic improvement initiatives.
This pathway is ideal for administrators who want to take a more advanced, systems-level approach to school improvement through data.
Example Topics Covered
Beyond the individual topics, administrators gain hands-on experience translating raw school data into meaningful insights. These pathways move leaders beyond simply reviewing reports and into actively interpreting trends, identifying root causes, and making informed, strategic decisions.
ACAP/ACT Data Visualization Analyzing and Formatting Datasets Managing Your ACT/ACAP Data Calculating Descriptive Statistics
Participants learn how to confidently navigate datasets, organize information for clarity, and communicate findings to teachers, staff, and stakeholders in ways that drive alignment and action. The result is not just better reporting — but better leadership.
Through structured case studies and real-world application, administrators strengthen their ability to:
- Identify patterns impacting student outcomes
- Make proactive, data-informed decisions
- Align instructional priorities with measurable goals
- Communicate insights clearly across teams
The technical and analytical skills developed through QuantHub are transferable beyond school data. They enhance everyday decision-making, improve comfort with technology systems, and build confidence in working with modern tools that increasingly shape education and industry.
Why Choose QuantHub for Your PLU?
Administrators are already expected to analyze ACT and ACAP data, set improvement goals, and lead strategic planning efforts. QuantHub adds structure, support, and meaningful credentialing to that work — turning required tasks into guided professional growth.
Unlike generic professional development programs, QuantHub’s PLU pathways:
- Use your school’s real data
- Provide structured analysis guidance
- Strengthen practical technical skills
- Deliver applicable, actionable outcomes
- Award professional credit for meaningful work
More importantly, QuantHub helps administrators prepare students for the world they are entering — not the one we grew up in. When administrators build confidence in data literacy and AI awareness, that mindset influences the entire school culture.
QuantHub equips leaders to:
- Become more technically adept and confident in modern tools
- Strengthen their ability to interpret and apply data insights
- Use AI responsibly to streamline administrative tasks
- Explore ways AI can support lesson planning, differentiation, and workload management
- Lead conversations around ethical and effective technology integration
Understanding AI and data doesn’t just benefit students — it can soften the load of leadership. Administrators gain exposure to modern AI concepts and practical applications that can assist with organization, communication, planning, and instructional alignment.
“I’m not here to teach them how to survive in my universe,” Gregory said. “I’m here to teach them to survive in their universe, even though we don’t fully know what that’s going to look like just yet.”
–Teresa Gregory, Pell City High School
Teachers who have engaged with QuantHub consistently report feeling more confident teaching 21st century skills and incorporating technology into instruction. Administrators who complete the PLU pathways gain that same confidence at the leadership level — empowering them to guide faculty toward future-focused practices.
Ultimately, QuantHub’s PLU pathways help administrators:
