Seldom do I read a book for work that I am excited about. But this text pulled out all of the great resources regarding Continuous Improvement Cycles and put them into one succinct format. Straightforward, to the point, and totally functional I'm going to leave this one in my office to return to periodically.

Useful information, but much more of a review of best practices using data to inform decision making and vision crafting in a school.

Really good, comprehensive overview of the Continuous School Improvement framework. Had to read for grad school and wished it had been assigned earlier as it really helped me understand a portfolio assignment on creating a Continuous School Improvement Plan. Short, sweet, and to the point with great graphics and reference material.

Good book to understand the process schools can use to interpret all of their data (including process data) to improve their schools. A quick and easy read, with a lot of depth and great appendices.
