The K–12 Educator’s Data Guidebook
Reimagining Practical Data Use in Schools
An easy-to-use data reference for educators. With heart.
I started interviewing educators about data as research for this book. Halfway through, I realized the interviews weren’t research for the book. They were the book.
At its heart, this book is a practical data manual. But it’s also something else: a notebook of personal stories from you, the educator. Because if we can’t make our data personal, how will it ever be practical?
Praise for the K-12 Educator’s Data Guidebook
“My parents, career educators, believed that only central office administrators used data. They never imagined that they could use data to improve their teaching, to address disparities, and to empower their students. I wish this book had existed when they were in the classroom. It provides an approachable guide for all educators to understand and harness the power of data for good.”
–Miriam Greenberg, Director of the Strategic Data Project at the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University
