Leading Schools in a Data-rich World by Lorna Maxine Earl,Steven Katz Pdf

More versatile than mere number crunching and statistics, data can be an effective tool for change within a school. Learning to harness data's power, and becoming good users of data to positively impact student achievement, school leaders can develop three crucial capacities: an inquiry habit of mind, data literacy, and a culture of inquiry. The authors show educators how to become comfortable with data and provide valuable tools for school improvement teams to use in their work, including: vignettes to support group discussion; activities for practicing the ideas and concepts in the book; task sheets; and short case studies with actual school data that show how the full process works in a school. To improve schools, data can and should be a vital force in the change process. Using this essential resource, school leaders, school teams, study groups, and students of education can all make sense of data to plan and reform for maximum benefit.
