Read this entire book in our 6 week principal internship preparatory course and have to say it totally makes sense. This logical, data driven approach to improving our schools is something I intend to implement into my advancement of my educational leadership pursuit. Wouldn't call it a thrilling read, but a necessary read for educational leaders who really want to change the culture of their school and raise the academic rigor of all of their students.

This is a useful companion text to Data Wise in that it gives real world context as to how schools approach the different steps in the Data Wise Process. Not to mention that Two Rivers, my school, is featured in chapter six.

Useful discussions of case studies of schools using Harvard Ed Grad School's data wise model. The examples are not radical or really very innovative in their details, but represent solid good practice and strong institutional intentionality that most schools would envy.
