From the publisher

Data Wise, Third Edition (9781682539972) is now available! The new edition isn't just an update--it's an equity transformation that makes Data Wise clearer, more inclusive, and applicable beyond K-12 to support whole-child learning.
***

Data Wise, Revised and Expanded Edition presents a continuous, sustainable process that allows school leaders to harness classroom metrics to inform educational practice.

At its core, the Data Wise method fosters effective collaboration among educators, enabling teams to study a wide range of evidence and then use what they learn to enrich school culture and climate and ensure that each student thrives.

Kathryn Parker Boudett, Elizabeth A. City, and Richard J. Murnane offer clear guidance for enacting all stages of the Data Wise improvement process and for integrating data inquiry into long-term institutional practice. They begin with actions that lay the groundwork for collaboration: advancing assessment literacy among contributors, building productive professional learning communities, and identifying targets for change. They continue with advice on evaluating progress and boosting accountability.

Throughout the book, the authors recommend practical tools and proven practices, such as the plus/delta protocol and the ACE Habits of Mind (focusing on action, collaboration, and evidence), that help school leaders optimize the quality of meetings, especially those in which educators analyze data. They also provide tips for how to make best use of developments in education and technology, from Common Core State Standards to online collaboration tools.

The field-tested strategies of the Data Wise improvement process have been used to great success in schools around the world, showing that careful examination of test scores, classroom data, and other educational evaluations can become a catalyst for important schoolwide conversations and transformations.

From the rear cover

In the wake of the accountability movement, school administrators are inundated with data about their students. How can they use this information to support student achievement? Data Wise presents a clear and carefully tested blueprint for school leaders. It shows how examining text scores and other classroom data can become a catalyst for important schoolwide conversations that will help schools capture teachers' knowledge, foster collaboration, identify obstacles to change, enhance school culture and climate, and improve students' results. The rich experience of the contributors--among them exemplary school leaders and top scholars in the field of statistics and testing--is reflected in the case studies that illustrate each chapter.

"This book provides a great variety of useful ideas and tools for analyzing student achievement data. It serves as an important and significant resource for school leaders in utilizing data to improve instruction and increase student achievement." -- Gerald N. Tirozzi, Executive Director, National Association of Secondary School Principals

"The step-by-step process described in this invaluable book has helped me engage my faculty in lively, frank, and productive discussions about our student assessment results. Now we are able to make the connections between data and instruction in ways that improve teaching and learning systematically throughout the school." -- Janet Palmer Owens, Principal, Mason Pilot School, Boston, Massachusetts.

"A masterful example of what can happen when great scholars confront real-world problems." -- Michael Feuer, Founding Director, Board of Testing and Assessment, National Research Council of the National Academies
