Understanding and Using Data
“Where attainable knowledge could have changed the issue, ignorance has the guilt of vice.”
Alfred North Whitehead
Instructional Leadership Teams drive the cycle of inquiry within their schools. All educators and all teams
trying to meet the challenge of raising achievement and producing well educated students need to be skilled
in using data to solve educational problems. Data aids educators in taking a critical stance towards
instruction, and is a key tool to the educator as problem solver.
