Book #4 is going to be an invaluable resource for folks working in schools. The book is very “user friendly” with each chapter focusing on specific tasks, tools to accoplish these tasks, and lessons learned from schools who have done this work. In other words, the book helps the reader transform those daunting piles of student data into an action plan for improved teaching and learning. The reader is guided through the “Data Wise Improvement Process” of preparing ( putting the sturcture in place for data analysis ), inquiring ( acquiring the knowledge needed to decide how to increase student learning ), and finally, acting ( what to do to improve instruction and to assess whether the changes put in place have made a difference ).
Readers, what are your thoughts????
