00:11:02    Catherine Miller:   thank you!
00:25:22    Catherine Miller:   5 levels, maybe? instructors, aides, administrators, executives, data folks
00:26:17    Rob Lucas (he/him): 5 seems about right, depending where you divide them up
00:27:02    Yukie Toyama:   Yeah 5 groups: researchers, funding organization, teachers, students, and parents/public
00:27:04    Isabella Velásquez: We cut across different strategies on our team. Top ones are leadership, non-technical team members, technical team members, external partners
00:27:37    Catherine Miller:   the technical and non-technical categories are useful for this
00:28:00    Catherine Miller:   plus external partners who see a different grain size of data
00:28:19    Mark LaVenia:   We have an Executive Director, Chiefs, Directors, Specialists, and Managers--and my work requires working across and between all levels
00:28:47    Isabella Velásquez: yes. data privacy concerns are really important when considering what data is being shared
