"Data Wise: A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Assessment Results to Improve Teaching and Learning" presents a clear and carefully tested blueprint for school leaders. It shows how examining test scores and other classroom data can become a catalyst for important schoolwide conversations that will enhance schools' abilities to capture teachers' knowledge, foster collaboration, identify obstacles to change, and enhance school culture and climate. This revised and expanded edition captures the learning that has emerged in integrating the Data Wise process into school practice and brings the book up-to-date with recent developments in education and technology, including: (1) the shift to the Common Core State Standards; (2) new material on the "ACE Habits of Mind": practices that prioritize Action, Collaboration, and Evidence as part of transforming school culture; and (3) a new chapter on "How We Improve," based on experiences implementing Data Wise and to address two common questions: "Where do I start?" and "How long will it take?" Other revisions take into account changes in the roles of school data teams and instructional leadership teams in guiding the inquiry process. The authors have also updated exhibits, examples, and terminology throughout and have added new protocols and resources. Following an introduction by Kathryn Parker Boudett, Elizabeth A. City, and Richard J. Murnane, this book is divided into four sections. Section I, Prepare, contains the following chapters: (1) Organizing for Collaborative Work (Kathryn Parker Boudett and Liane Moody); and (2) Building Assessment Literacy (Jennifer Price and Daniel M. Koretz). Section II, Inquire, contains the following chapters: (3) Creating a Data Overview (Shannon T. Hodge and John B.Willett); (4) Digging into Data (Ethan Mintz, Sarah E. Fiarman, and Tom Buffett); and (5) Examining Instruction (Elizabeth A. City, Melissa Kagle, and Mark B. Teoh). Section III, Act, contains the following chapters: (6) Developing an Action Plan (Tom Buffett, Mark B. Teoh, and Gerardo Martinez); (7) Planning to Assess Progress (Jennifer L. Steele and Jane E. King); and (8) Acting and Assessing (Liane Moody, Mary Russo, and Jonna Sullivan Casey). Section IV, Integrate, contains the following chapters: (9) Roles for the District Central Office (Nancy S. Sharkey and Richard J. Murnane); and (10) How We Improve (Kathryn Parker Boudett, Candice Bocala, and Elizabeth A. City). Selected protocols, Data Wise Resources, notes, sections about the editors and contributors, and an index are included.
