Data-Driven Decision Making<br />

A Handbook for School Leaders<br />

Chris O’Neal<br />

We all strive to measure school or district success, but too often we<br />

rely simply on end-of-year test scores or report cards. These indicators<br />

provide some information, but not enough. With data-driven decision<br />

making—continuously having rich conversations, asking deeper<br />

questions, and examining formative assessments—you can get a true<br />

picture of the health of your school or district. You will discover areas<br />

of success as well as issues that need to be addressed. Chris O’Neal will<br />

show you how to implement data-driven decision making and make it<br />

the key to assessing all school activities, from classroom instruction to<br />

budgeting.<br />

thoughtfully and in clear language so that all involved can understand.<br />

O’Neal leads you through setting up teams; warehousing, accessing,<br />

and examining data; and finally reflecting on your process. The many<br />

worksheets in each chapter will help you put what you read into<br />

practice quickly and effectively. Understand what’s happening in your<br />

school environment and how you can make better decisions that will<br />

keep you on a path to success.<br />
