Putting FACES on the Data: What Great Leaders Do!
The co-authors begin by reviewing, from their earlier book Realization, 14 parameters for successful district reform. In Chapter 2, Sharratt and Fullan report on their action research. They asked five hundred or so educators working in Canada, the U. The largest number of responses to Question 2 was centred on assessment for and as learning, to determine the next steps in learning.
With respect to Question 3, the respondents indicated that the top leadership skills are know-ability knowledge of best practices and structures , mobilize-ability being visible and getting people moving in the same direction , and sustain-ability building and sustaining strong relationships.

In the chapter on assessment, practices such as the following are recommended: Good first teaching practices; 2. Further intervention steps, such as a Reading Recovery program, when students still fail to meet with success.
The good teaching practices the authors recommend include the gradual-release-of- responsibility approach to reading and writing, differentiated instruction, cross curricular literacy connections, and rich authentic tasks that involve higher-order thinking, and student inquiry. Leadership — Individualizing For Improvement, the point is made that a principal should participate with teachers as a co-learner and co-leader, being the knowledgeable other who knows how to use data to improve instruction in every classroom in the school.
A principal should conduct both data talks and classroom learning walks to monitor how each teacher is using data to move students forward. Putting FACES on the Data is an ambitious book that covers a lot of ground with respect to student achievement and the use of data. In many ways, the book reads like a blueprint for principals and school district leaders for student success. The case studies and Narratives from the Field spread throughout the book add concrete examples of how many schools and districts have met with success by putting faces on the data.

Nielsen Book Data Publisher's Summary This book will show how to personalize that data or put a face on it so that users can implement specific actions for specific students. It will make data more powerful and strategic for real use by keeping it personal. Educational change can be conceptualized as a three-legged stool with Standards-Assessment-Instruction representing the legs. Instruction is the leg that gets too little attention and will be emphasized in this book.
