Using Data-Based Processes to Create Sustainable Change in Your School and Community: A Step-By-Step Guide for Leaders in Education (Paperback or Softback)

Rooted in the idea that education is an open, dynamic system composed of a continuous interchange of components, this eye-opening resource presents a data-based, process-focused framework for solving the unique problems of your specific school or system. Counter to popular "quick fix" and intervention-based strategies, this book reflects the holistic process required for educational reform that can be sustained and continuously improved over time. With a focus on determining and implementing solutions, the book features vignettes and brief case studies, reflective questions, activity matrices, and helpful infographics that bring key ideas to life. Using Data-Based Processes to Create Sustainable Change is key reading for school and district leaders, administrators, and professional development organizations interested in supporting the development of a critical mass of collaborative faculty and staff.
