Product Description
The book provides a unique contribution to the literature in this field in that the studies of decision theory and data-based decision making are integrated. Focusing on educators assuming leadership roles in school improvement, the book's content is equally relevant for administrators, supervisors, and teachers. The book, however, is centered on data-driven decision making, both as a requirement of the No Child Left Behind Act and as a normative professional standard. Issues related to accumulating, storing, and protecting data in districts and schools also are covered. Applications in administration, supervision, and teaching are demonstrated.

Data Drive Decisions and School Leadership Review December 28, 2007
Joanne E. Howard (Chicago, Illinois United States)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book provides a thorough analysis of how to evaluate data for a school or a school district. It provides a history lesson on school reform from the 1980s forward and provides the questions with recommendations that any school administrator, advocacy organization, teacher, or researcher would find easy to understand and cogent in its presentation. Not only does it lead you through the research design for reviewing your school or district, it also provides a step by step for applying the analysis so that appropriate decisions may be applied. This is a must read book for anyone who loves public or private education and would like to press for continuous improvement.
