It should also be an integral part of the course of study for those preparing to teach in the United States.""Vinetta C. Jones, DeanSchool of Education, Howard University" "From Johnson's penetrating analysis of current research, policies, and practices, and her wealth of experiences working with school districts around the nation, she clearly makes the connection between using data and achieving equitable outcomes as districts and schools struggle to close the achievement gap.""Aukram Burton, Diversity/Multicultural SpecialistGheen Professional Development AcademyLouisville, KY""This book represents a significant contribution to the national debate around school reform. Ruth Johnson presents a thoughtful, well-documented treatise on how educators, policymakers, and parents can use data to set achievement goals and to measure progress towards these goals.""Walter Allen, ProfessorDepartment of Sociology, UCLA" Exercise the power of data to identify and rectify educational inequalities!" Student populations are diverse???however, their access to knowledge and success should not be. Unfortunately, statistics show thatreal disparities do exist in academic achievement, which consistently coincide with income level and race. In this comprehensive guide, Ruth S. Johnson highlights compelling evidence that these inequities can be linked to school practices that inadvertently increase inequities. The solution to this pervasive problem lies in the collection and examination of appropriate data, and this book shows readers how. This updated edition of "Setting Our Sights: Measuring Equity in School Change" now includes current studies, policies, and practices, and provides new sections on data dialogues and school indicators. It offers valuable assistance for understanding, visioning, planning, and executing tactics that can successfully close the gap in student achievement, including: Straightforward and in-depth discussions of the five stages for equity reform Clear and easy-to-understand explanations of research findings Practical tools including questionnaires, surveys, forms, and models Tips for effectively gathering, analyzing, and applying data Johnson shows how data is instrumental not only in targeting areas for improvement, but also in offering insights into the necessary steps to foster positive change and create a culture of high achievement for all students, especially those students who have traditionally been overlooked. An indispensable reference for any school undergoing a quality review process, this reader-friendly manual presents practical how-to??'s for analyzing data and developing a strategy that empowers teachers and administrators with an equal opportunity for success.
