Synopsis

Link relevant data to results instantly and consistently!

This powerful text offers school leaders a process for data-based decision making that includes the critical elements of school improvement: collaborative teams, meaningful data, and measurable results. Administrators and instructors select the data, dialogue about the findings, and then make informed decisions about improving student performance. Educators will learn to:

• Select data that is easily accessible, collectible on an ongoing basis, and capable of impacting student achievement
• Use the three-step cyclical model of data analysis
• Create and assess goals that are specific, measurable, and results-oriented
