| Sumario: | Provides both the philosophical and practical blueprint for transforming public schools into the learning communities we want and need. Ruth Johnson presents a thoughtful, well-documented treatise on how educators, policymakers, and parents can use data to set achievement goals and to measure progress towards these goals. Unfortunately, statistics show that real disparities do exist in academic achievement, which consistently coincide with income level and race. Book highlights compelling evidence that these inequities can be linked to school practices that inadvertently increase inequities. The solution to this pervasive problem lies in the collection and examination of appropriate data, and this book shows readers how. |
