During focus groups in Oklahoma this past summer, executives identified top business trends in the state, which included the use of Big Data in decision-making. Research such as this is conducted to inform state and national learning standards. It also influences other areas of education, such as data-focused professional development being planned for OK teachers, this Big Data infographic identified by our staff, and these tips for students studying finance provided by one of the panelists. A summary of the work done in OK, including feedback from the OK Department of CTE, is available here.
