How to Use This Toolkit
This Toolkit is designed to help guide partnerships, collaboratives, agencies, and community
initiatives seeking to center equity while using, sharing, and integrating administrative data.
Not sure what we mean by using, sharing, and integrating administrative
data? Take some time to review our Introduction to Data Sharing & Integration,
which covers key terms, concepts, and first steps.
Are you interested in deepening your organization’s work in centering racial equity throughout the
data life cycle? We have created Your Journey to Centering Racial Equity: A Companion Workbook
to this Toolkit. This Companion Workbook includes activities to help guide individuals, teams, and
organizations in this work.
Most importantly, this Toolkit is not meant to be prescriptive, comprehensive, or even read cover to
cover. Users have told us that they most effectively use the Toolkit as inspiration, as a list of possible
strategies rather than implementation guidelines. All of us have work to do in centering racial equity,
but we will never move forward by trying to do everything at once. Please take what is helpful, and
leave what is not.
HOW TO USE THIS TOOLKIT
Some caveats: We use the data life cycle as an organizing principle, but we want to be clear that no
matter where you are in the work, the goal is most often to take note of what you are doing and why,
adjust speed (pause or get some urgency), and make adjustments in partnership with community.
While we organize Work in Action examples using the data life cycle, these are somewhat arbitrary
classi昀椀cations, as examples often involve work across multiple stages.
