Digital expectations and experiences in education
For more than three decades, researchers, policy makers and educationalists have all harboured great expectations towards the use of technology in schools. This belief has received a hard knock after an OECD 2015 report has shown that computers do not improve pupil results: Investing heavily in school computers and classroom technology does not improve pupils' performance, and frequent use of computers in schools is more likely to be associated with lower results. Educational technology has raised false expectations! The prevailing view of educational technology has shifted. This book is an attempt to raise questions and start a debate. It presents new research relevant to a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in educational technology and strategies are discussed in relation to handling these challenges. Rather than presenting ready solutions, the book attempts to provoke debate and to contribute to a firmer grasp on reality.

The data collection toolkit
\"This book provides quick and easy tips for data collection within the classroom. Behavioral Quik-Graphs provides quick and easy tips for data collection within the classroom. Special educators, administrators, and other paraprofessionals often view data collection as time-consuming and complex, but collecting data on behaviors, academic abilities, and Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) is a crucial procedure that shows the progress of individual students. A variety of reproducible forms and tools are available for immediate use in recording and analyzing classroom data. Data collection is a critical piece of an educator's job (not just in special education) and it can be very intimidating to a teacher. This accessible book will make data collection easy with realistic vignettes, diagrams and sample forms, and explanations written in clear language.\" -- Provided by publisher.

Data for learning : building a smart education data system
Data are a crucial ingredient in any successful education system, but building and sustaining a data system are challenging tasks. Many countries around the world have spent significant resources but still struggle to accomplish a functioning Education Management Information System (EMIS). On the other hand, countries that have created successful systems are harnessing the power of data to improve education outcomes. Increasingly, EMISs are moving away from using data narrowly for counting students and schools. Instead, they use data to drive system-wide innovations, accountability, professionalization, and, most important, quality and learning. This broader use of data also benefits classroom instruction and support at schools. An effective data system ensures that education cycles, from preschool to tertiary, are aligned and that the education system is monitored so it can achieve its ultimate goal-- producing graduates able to successfully transition into the labor market and contribute to the overall national economy. This publication sheds light on challenges in building a data system and provide actionable direction on how to navigate the complex issues associated with education data for better learning outcomes and beyond. It details the key ingredients of successful data systems, including tangible examples, common pitfalls, and good practices. It is a resource for policy makers working to craft the vision and strategic road map of an EMIS, as well as a handbook to assist teams and decision makers in avoiding common mistakes.

Data Rules
Data Rules provides much-needed clarity on how instructional leaders can effectively leverage data.
It's no secret that using data can be a key driver of teacher growth and student achievement. The only real question is how. Coaching expert Jim Knight and professor Michael Faggella-Luby distill decades of research into an accessible, proven approach that explains
- Why data is important for transforming teaching.
- A framework of 10 easy-to-apply rules for effective data use.
- Best practices to communicate and discuss data.
- How to analyze data for student engagement and achievement.
- How to analyze data for instructional practice.
To help schools achieve sustained improvement, this book also connects its data rules to the Impact Cycle, Knight's field-tested model for coaching teachers based on research from the Instructional Coaching Group (ICG). Equipped with the right tools, any instructional leader or coach will be able to realize the full potential of data, move the needle on classroom instruction, and improve student outcomes.
