<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">FOCUS,
a non-profit charter school support organization, is creating a paid school data
intern program to recruit, train, and place students in multiple DC public
charter schools for a full school year. Interns will be expected to work
approximately 10 hours per week during the school year and will be held to very
high standards of professionalism and responsibility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students who apply should be confident that
they can commit to approximately 10 hours per week for the full school year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Each
public charter school will face a unique set of challenges, meaning each data
internship will also be unique.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>FOCUS
will be responsible for developing an approximate scope of work with each
partner school, but interns should be prepared to be flexible on-site to help
out as needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Examples of projects

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">QUALIFICATIONS</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Students
from <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">all majors </b>and class years are
eligible to apply.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There will be several
different types of projects that interns can take on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The skill sets that will allow interns to
succeed in each of them are different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have outlined the three different project types to demonstrate the
types of qualifications we are looking for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">1. Excel and Computer Training</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The teachers and
staff who will require the most training will likely be the least comfortable using
technology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore interns should
feel extremely comfortable explaining basic computer and Excel skills (e.g. turning
a computer on, opening programs, clicking in Excel cells, using formulas for sums
and averages). </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">There will also
likely be staff who have basic computer and Excel skills but are seeking
additional training in data analysis (e.g. sorting and filtering, pivot tables,
conditional formatting). Therefore interns should feel extremely comfortable
explaining more advanced computer and Excel skills.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">2. Merging and Manipulating
Disparate Data Sources and Data Entry</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l3 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Charter schools
often have data stored in multiple files and formats (MS Excel, Access, Student
Information Systems, and even paper files).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Typically school staff would like to analyze this data from a unified
source, such as a database or Excel spreadsheet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Interns assigned to this type of project
should be comfortable importing and exporting data from different types of
databases, merging data using Excel and/or statistical analysis software (SPSS,
SAS, etc.), creating organized systems for entering data from paper files. This
is primarily a technical position. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">3. Running Reports and Basic Data
Analysis </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l3 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Since school
staff often lack sufficient time and resources to analyze all of their data, interns
will help address this need.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Interns
assigned to this type of project should be able to formulate clear research questions
and analysis plans in collaboration with their school supervisor, have strong
analytical skills (ability to interpret meaning from data analysis), and
communicate findings visually (e.g., using charts, tables, graphs).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
