Gathering data and using it to inform instruction is a requirement for many schools, yet educators are not necessarily formally trained in how to do it. This book helps bridge the gap between classroom practice and the principles of educational psychology. Teachers will find cutting-edge advances in research and theory on human learning and teaching in an easily understood and transferable format. The text's integrated model shows teachers, school leaders, and district administrators how to establish a data culture and transform quantitative and qualitative data into actionable knowledge based on: AssessmentStatisticsInstructional and differentiated psychologyClassroom managementData-driven decision making and data literacy skills are at the intersection of all of these areas, and the authors link them to show how to establish a vision and improve student learning. Included are vignettes that demonstrate the concepts in practice and tips for using technology to assist in the process.

Vulnerable students have been marginalized through the use of accountability data for many years. This book describes an important construct, culturally responsive data literacy (CRDL), which merges data literacy and culturally responsive practices to help educators assume a whole child perspective, an asset model, and an equity lens to the examination and use of data. CRDL promotes the use of diverse data sources such as students’ personal backgrounds as well as academic history to help educators better meet individual needs, rather than reducing students to a single test score. The book provides authentic scenarios developed around topics educators may encounter in practice. It presents guiding questions that can help educators examine unconscious bias. The book, in taking a systems approach, seeks to reach educator preparation programs, in-service technical assistance providers, and professional organizations to build awareness of the importance of CRDL and to provide usable resources for educators at all levels.-The only all-in-one resource showing how to use data literacy to support culturally responsiveness in PK-12 classrooms. -There are few options that explore, and explore well, what it means to be culturally responsive when it comes to the assessment of students.-Accessible and practical for teachers, cohesively tied to theory underlying the practice.-Valuable resource for teacher professional development as well as preservice teacher preparation, with an abundance of concrete, practical examples and scenarios with actionable recommendations, not merely theory.
