Arvustused

An invaluable resource for teachers and school leaders; a sensible, practical, and human approach to understanding and using data; an excellent guide to use a broad range of data meaningfully for the improvement of education. -- Yong Zhao, Professor, Presidential Chair Finally, a book that treats data as more than a set of percentages! -- Charre Todd, Science Teacher This book is filled with great strategies to establish and grow a schools data team, bringing them from ordinary to extraordinary. -- Brian E. Fernandes, Reading Specialist & Literacy Coach Many districts and schools are approaching school improvement by implementing bits and pieces of data work without understanding how to build a foundation beneath the practices. This book provides practical and effective tools that can strengthen any improvement program through the efficient use of both quantitative and qualitative data. -- Carrie Carpenter, Instructional Coach Weve been talking data, producing data, collecting data, analyzing data, and using data to drive instruction for over ten years. But most of us in the field still dont really know how to do that. This book shows teachers and school leaders how to use data to improve student learning. -- Scott Hollinger, Instructional Coach for Principals and Teachers I am excited to say that educators finally have a book that provides a practical toolkit to help increase data fluency and begin using it to foster students growth. The authors provide precise tools for drilling down into the data and using it in a way that benefits our students. -- Florie Buono, Assistant Principal for Curriculum & Instruction "This book does for educators what a great teacher does for students: it motivates and instructs. Rob and Pam deliver powerful concepts in a very accessible way. They provide a logical framework for educators to work through tough problems while building energy and motivation." -- Sandra Husk, Superintendent "This practical toolkit takes an educator from data parlysis to data analysis. Hess and Robbins have assembled a masterful resource of templates, facilitation tips, data analysis instruments and examples of achievement success. There is something of value for every teacher, principal or superintendent who endeavors to improve student performance." -- Betty Flad, Program Director, Educational Administration This practical and insightful guidebook provides tools for principals and teacher leaders to facilitate the cycle of continuous improvement and achieve gains in both student and staff learning. Rob Hess and Pam Robbins have synthesized best practices from both research and the field that are both balanced and comprehensive. -- Candace Stevens, CLASS Project Coach, Consultant
