What does it look like when a school uses data wisely? Data Wise in Action, a new companion and sequel to our bestselling Data Wise, tells the stories of eight very different schools following the Data Wise process of using assessment results to improve teaching and learning. Data Wise in Action highlights the leadership challenges schools face in each phase of the eight-step Data Wise cycle and illustrates how staff members use creativity and collaboration to overcome those challenges. Data Wise in Action builds on the work of leading faculty and graduate students at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, who joined with exemplary practitioners in 2005 to produce Data Wise: A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Assessment Results to Improve Teaching and Learning. Since its publication, Data Wise has been read by thousands of school leaders, many of whom have shared the book with colleagues and staff. The success of the original book has generated a new demand among school leaders: to hear real stories from schools that are implementing the Data Wise process. Data Wise in Action answers that need. It offers both inspiration and practical guidance for school leaders.

Change your way of thinking to help you better navigate real lifeHave you ever looked at your life and said, “How do I fix this mess?” We’ve all seen books that claim they have the answers and that those answers are “backed by science.” But what does that even mean? Facing limited time and high stakes, how do we know which advice to believe? In Think Like a Scientist, research methodologist Jennifer Steele harnesses lessons from teaching scientific methods to skeptics and applies them to everyday life. With vivid personal stories, she shows how to unpack research evidence in order to handle conflicting medical advice, learn hard skills, manage disease risk, decide on fulfilling colleges and careers, find healthy love, save for the future, and navigate messy emotions. Scientific thinking, Steele argues, is uncommon in everyday life not because it’s rigid or narrow but because most of us simply weren’t taught how to use it. Still, science offers a powerful toolkit for managing uncertainty and making peace with past mistakes. Blending scientific principles with practical wisdom, Think Like a Scientist provides strategies each of us can use to gain an edge in figuring out our lives.
