商品簡介
Drawing from educational psychology, Mandinach, an educational psychologist and research scientist who specializes in data-driven decision making in education, and Jackson, a former teacher, principal, and current instructional leadership consultant, show pre-service and classroom teachers, school leaders, district administrators, and other educators the ways that quantitative and qualitative data can impact instruction. They integrate empirical evidence with experiences and observations of data at work in real settings to describe why data-driven decision making is important now and the historical context for it; its foundations, including data use, theoretical frameworks, and types of data; its components (vision for data use, data cultures, the technology to support data use, and the need to build human capacity through professional development); and the fundamentals of data use, including continuous management, methods, and classroom management issues and the principles of differentiated instruction. They end with positive and negative examples drawn from their experiences working with educators. Annotation Ac2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
