Data and Teaching: Moving Beyond Magical Thinking to Effective Practice

Data use in teaching is at the heart of current educational policy and school improvement efforts. Dispelling magical thinking that it is a simple solution to underachieving schools, this timely book explores what data use in teaching really is, how it works in theory and practice, and why it sometimes fails to achieve expected goals.

Drawing on their research in nine of New York Citys most poverty-impacted schools, the authors dive deep into school systems and routines, as well as into teachers practices and students experiences. They also zoom out to capture the larger currents that have made this school reform strategy so prominent today. Each chapter includes a discussion of a new direction that schools and teachers can take to ensure that data use in teaching actually spurs growth in learning.

This resource extracts lessons from both chaotic and productive data implementation in order to inform practice and fulfill hopes for better schooling, richer teaching, and deeper learning.

Book Features:

  • Provides practical guidelines for effective use of data in schools and classrooms.
  • Includes vivid descriptions and relatable narratives.
  • Explores in rich detail what teaching is and how it works.
  • Combines insightful ideas and powerful stories with concrete steps for improvement.
