Product Description
"Translating Data into Information to Improve Teaching and Learning" combines clearly stated general principles with case studies of actual school districts to help educators think through the selection of the data elements and data tools needed to support quality decisions for improving teaching and learning at all levels. The book enhances educators' abilities to gather and use high-quality data and enables them to create analyses and reports that will facilitate their translating data into decisions about strategies to improve student achievement.
About The Author
Victoria L. Bernhardt, Ph.D., is Executive Director of the Education for the Future Initiative, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to build the capacity of all schools at all levels to gather, analyze, and use data to continuously improve learning for all students. She is also a Professor, on leave, in the Department of Professional Studies in Education, College of Communication and Education, at California State University, Chico.
Dr. Bernhardt is passionate about her mission of helping all educators continuously improve student learning in their classrooms, their schools, their districts, and states by gathering, analyzing, and using actual data--as opposed to using hunches and "gut-level" feelings.
