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–12 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.

Data Wise: A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Assessment Results to Improve Teaching and Learning presents a clear and carefully tested blueprint for school leaders. It shows how examining test scores and other classroom data can become a catalyst for important schoolwide conversations that will enhance schools' abilities to capture teachers' knowledge, foster collaboration, identify obstacles to change, and enhance school culture and climate. This revised and expanded edition captures the learning that has emerged in integrating the Data Wise process into school practice and brings the book up-to-date with recent developments in education and technology including: · The shift to the Common Core State Standards. · New material on the "ACE Habits of Mind": practices that prioritize Action, Collaboration, and Evidence as part of transforming school culture. · A new chapter on "How We Improve," based on experiences implementing Data Wise and to address two common questions: "Where do I start?" and "How long will it take?" Other revisions take into account changes in the roles of school data teams and instructional leadership teams in guiding the inquiry process. The authors have also updated exhibits, examples, and terminology throughout and have added new protocols and resources.
