Following on overview of fundamental shifts in education over the past 50 years, Preuss (a retired New York public school educator) presents his data-based decision making model for converting "data to wisdom" in tune with the calls for greater school accountability. He explains the central concepts of data pathways, value-added analysis, and dynamic planning in using student proficiency data to track student progress. The book includes critical thinking questions, a glossary, and tutorials (e.g. on systems thinking, key indicators of student success). The cover reads "data-driven," while the CIP reads "data-based." Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
