Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Data have enormous power to improve the quality of decisions, but leaders are the ones who drive decision making in schools. Data are tools for leaders. This volume is akin to lifting the hood of your car to gain a more complete understanding of how it runs, and how it can be fine-tuned to run even better.” (From the Introduction by Robert W. Cole 2009-11-20)

"A great resource for district leaders for understanding that data should not be used to place blame or grant glory, but rather should be applied as a tool, to constantly focus on systemwide improvement." (The School Administrator, November 2010, Vol. 67(10) 2010-11-23)
