DLL 7-9 · Skeptical analysts comparing claims and evidence.
DLL 7 – 9
Investigator Phase - DLL 7
Learners at DLL 7 examine data from multiple sources, interpret patterns across datasets, and begin designing small investigations. They practice skepticism and empathy together—questioning what data show, what they hide, and whom they represent.
Investigator Phase - DLL 8
Learners at DLL 8 interpret multi-feature graphs, recognize anomalies, and justify interpretations using both numeric and narrative reasoning. They learn that accuracy without empathy risks distortion, and empathy without accuracy risks confusion. Balance between the two defines true investigation.
Investigator Phase - DLL 9
Learners at DLL 9 design and critique multi-dimensional data stories. They validate sources, trace reasoning chains, and assess how presentation choices influence belief. Accuracy, empathy, and transparency converge as hallmarks of professional-grade integrity.
