Data Wise, Revised and Expanded Edition: A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Assessment Results to Improve Teaching and Learning

I recently took my Administrative Certification Tests for New York and this book was extremely helpful. I highly recommend it as it had a lot of information which was relevant to the test. This was recommended to me from one of my grad school teachers.

This is not a book to sit down and read. However, very user friendly and beneficial.

Love how easy this book was to understand. Probably wouldn't have bought it had I not needed it for a class, but this one is a keeper even though the class is over.

I am going for my second masters in school leadership, administration, and immediate supervisor. This book was a required read for one of my courses. While the book is rather dry, and the school vignettes a little forced and fictional, the data wise process is easy to comprehend and works very well. My school district just adopted the Datawise protocols for data team meetings, so it's been great that I have the knowledge ahead of many of my colleagues, and having unpacked it during class time, can use the process right away. The steps in the Datawise "swoop" are easily followed and understood by almost all of my colleagues. Best of all is that the process is easily reproduced depending on the data that you chose to go through the protocol with.

This is a book all school leaders should have on their shelves. A great how to and reference book as needed.

Was as advertised and very useful in my wife's field.

Very informational. Heavy reading and can be a little dry. You will understand how to work effectively with data once you complete the reading.

Not a lot to say. It was fine but nothing revolutionary. I did appreciate that they wove together the content with some narrative which made it more interesting
