Reflecting on Year 1 of Harvard Fellowship: DPP’s Cristal Cisneros Shares Learnings

Denver Preschool Program’s Cristal Cisneros, Ed.D., Senior Director of Evaluation and Impact, is one of 13 fellows who are participating in the Harvard’s Center for Education Policy Research’s Strategic Data Project (SDP), which is supported by the Gates Foundation. Focused on improving how the education sector improves its data use for decision-making and program enhancements, SDP’s two-year fellowship recently reached its mid-way point. As part of that milestone, the Harvard’s Center for Education Policy Research asked participates to share insights from year one in a recent blog post, “Supporting Our Youngest Learners: When Data Alone Isn’t Enough.”

“Being part of this working group has been invaluable,” Cisneros shared in the post. “It has allowed me to problem-solve in real-time with peers who are tackling similar equity challenges in different contexts.”
