| Summary |
"Most of the business world has been using what is known as data-driven decision-making for quite some time. From retail to medicine to travel, the ability to access data from any point and crosscheck it is commonplace, except in the educational sector. Philip A. Streifer argues that the correct use of data - and the relationship between different types of data - can help answer the most complex questions in education today. This process of analyzing evidence helps school administrators give the public the best and most accurate information possible."--Jacket. |
