Full Description
A revised and updated edition presents field-tested strategies to foster equity, inclusion, and continuous improvement in educational practice
In this third edition of Data Wise, Kathryn Parker Boudett and Candice Bocala update the research-based eight-step collaborative inquiry process and demonstrate how it can be used to build more equitable schools. As Boudett and Bocala define it, equity occurs when each student has access to rigorous learning opportunities and is provided with the support they need to be successful. Therefore, improvement work is equity work.
This new edition provides a step-by-step guide for how teachers, counselors, and school leaders can address inequities and improve learning outcomes for all students. It shows how the evidence-focused analysis of the Data Wise improvement process, coupled with the disciplined way of thinking known as the ACE Habits of Mind (a shared commitment to action, assessment, and adjustment intentional collaboration and a relentless focus on evidence), can foster mindset shifts and fundamentally change the way educators work.
Data Wise is a world-renowned approach that has been used to address challenges not only in K- 2 classrooms but also in higher education, professional learning, and administrative settings. This essential work delivers solid, relevant guidance for integrating data inquiry into institutional practice.
