Chairman, Center for Performance Assessment Focus on program
quality-not just test scores-and watch student achievement climb!
In this remarkable book, renowned educational consultant Jim Cox
offers a smarter way to look at data, putting test scores in
context, not in isolation. Rather than focusing on last year's
findings for school improvement, educators can learn how to
evaluate the processes and practices that lead to those data by
using a user-friendly, three-pronged framework for school
improvement: teacher quality, program elements, and leadership.
This concise, practical guide offers easy-to-use tools and
techniques for schools and districts to evaluate their programs
using both quantiative and qualitative data. School leaders will
learn to look at data, program evaluation, and school improvement
differently and discover how to effectively * Define a quality
program * Analyze what is and is not working * Avoid "test score
fatigue" Packed with worksheets, step-by-step instructions, and an
extensive appendix of tools, this book provides readers with a
complete improvement plan to put into action today!
