Synopsis
This book helps you make sense of the data your district collects, including student achievement results as well as other qualitative and quantitative data. Easy-to-use templates, tools, and examples are available on the accompanying CD-Rom.
High-stakes accountability requires that you understand the strengths, challenges, and implications of your continuous improvement plan. "Using Data to Improve Student Learning in School Districts" shows you how to—look carefully at your students' current test scores and other qualitative and quantitative data; compare your results to what you want them to be; find the gaps and the root causes of the gaps; and plan and implement a school improvement plan based on your school's actual data. This book and CD-Rom analyzes data from actual school districts and provides you with files and templates into which you can enter data from your own district. This is the fourth title in Victoria L. Bernhardt's new series. Other titles focus on elementary, middle, and high schools.
