Abstract:

Contents: The context of data-driven decision making -- What research tells us about data-driven decision making -- Technology to support data-driven decision making -- Continuous capacity building : data-driven decision-making skills and pedagogical data literacy -- Using data for continuous improvement : processes and structures -- Building a culture to use data -- Differentiated instruction using formative assessments -- CHOPS : learning from examples and closing thoughts.; Summary: 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: assessment; statistics; instructional and differentiated psychology; classroom management. --Publisher description.

Abstract:

Partial contents: Introduction -- A profile of the teacher population and the schools in which they work -- The professional development of teachers -- Teaching practices, teachers' beliefs and attitudes -- School evaluation, teacher appraisal and feedback and the impact on schools and teachers -- Leading to learn : school leadership and management styles -- Key factors in developing effective learning environments : classroom disciplinary climate and teachers' self-efficacy.; Summary: This publication provides quantitative, policy-relevant information on the teaching and learning environment in schools in 23 countries and has a focus on lower secondary education. School effectiveness research consistently shows that the quality of the learning environment is the most important policy-malleable factor for positive student learning and student outcomes. In recognition of this, TALIS explores key policies and practices that shape the learning environment. TALIS illustrates the roles and functions that school leaders adopt within schools - often facing quite different circumstances - and examines how these roles support teachers in their work. Retaining and developing effective teachers is a priority in all school systems and TALIS examines how teachers' work is recognized, appraised and rewarded and how well the professional development needs of teachers are being addressed.--Publisher's description.
