Textbook Information
"Data Analysis for Continuous School Improvement" (First Edition, 1998,
Second Edition, 2004)
What separates successful schools from those that will
not be successful in their reform efforts is the use of one, often neglected,
essential element-data. With clear and concrete examples from both elementary
and secondary schools, "Data Analysis for Continuous School Improvement" shows
what data to gather and how to use data to improve all aspects of schools. "Data
Analysis" enables you to find out where you are, where you want to be, and how
to get there-sensibly, painlessly, and effectively.
Schools are powerful organizations. Every day, across the United States, schools are impacting the lives of millions of children and the future of our very existence. Schools become even more powerfully efficient and effective when data play an active role in their operations.
The purposes of this book are to update the original "Data Analysis for
Comprehensive Schoolwide Improvement" book with new and improved strategies and
knowledge, and to clarify:
· why data are important and what data to
gather
· how data-gathered, analyzed, and properly used-can make a
difference in meeting the needs of every student in the school
· how to
communicate and report data results
· the data analyses required to
meet "No Child Left Behind" (NCLB) legislation
