underperforming, high-poverty schools across the nation has
resulted in a treasure chest of knowledge and experiences about how
to professionally develop data coaches in ways that benefit some of
our most underserved students. This book provides powerful
resources to those who have the belief, passion, and desire for
implementing collaborative data inquiries in schools and
districts." -From the Foreword by Ruth S. Johnson Use data as an
