Book of the Month Library

Data–done right–has the power to put schools on the path to true change. Rely on this research-backed resource to help you kick-start, implement, and sustain data-informed schoolwide transformation. There are many ways to use student data, and the author’s ten steps offer practical, clear methods for establishing a data team, collecting relevant data, identifying trends, and taking evidence-based action.

By addressing feedback, engagement, and well-being in ways that are sustainable and founded in justice, Just Teaching supports comprehensive growth while elevating the essential work of educators.

Follow this evidence-based framework to determine the efficacy of current practices, take practical steps to replace ineffective ones, and chart your school’s path to de-implementation.

Mindframes—your internal set of beliefs about your role as school leader—determine the high-impact leadership practices you choose to implement. In other words, how you think about the impact of the actions you take has more effect on student achievement than your leadership practices themselves.
