Full Description
When numbers become people, learners thrive
Waves of data—indigestible, dehumanized, and disaggregated—are crashing into the education system every day, driving you to distraction. But imagine a world where you're not being drowned by data, but inspired by it; where that data has a FACE and gives you focused information on how to reach every student.
Sharratt and Fullan turn worldwide research into a road map for school leaders to use ongoing assessment to inform instruction and drive equity at the classroom, school, district, and state levels. Inside you will find
A fresh look at data to incorporate new learning
Updated case studies, figures, and vignettes
Insights from more than 500 educators in answering the 3 research questions: Why do we put FACES on data? How do we put FACES on data? and What are the top three leadership skills needed to do this work?
An integrated approach to using the 14 Parameters to enhance Deep Learning and critical thinking
Tools for committing to "equity and excellence"
FACES is about setting up the conditions for success in every classroom: identifying the right factors, at the right time, with the right resources. Its focus on student-centered data will help you:
Increase learners' growth and achievement
improve engagement that results in students, teacher and leader empowerment
build cultures of learning
drive a learning environment of continuous improvement
