ReviewsThe use and interpretation of data is increasingly becoming vital in understanding and publicising school results. Whatever our feelings about it might be, all teachers, not just senior leaders, need to get a firm grasp on the subject and this book will help in that...There is a lot of emphasis on practical issues, helping the reader to see how data can be applied - and where things can go wrong. It could be a dry read, but the author makes the subject interesting and relevant. This is a must-read for all teachers, school leaders, data managers and school governors..., In the increasingly data-swamped world of education, data literacy is no longer a desirable skill, it is essential. Databusting for Schools is part guide through the complexities, uses and limitations of data; and part challenge to those who too readily make assumptions and draw conclusions. This is an important book. -- James Pembroke The use and interpretation of data is increasingly becoming vital in understanding and publicising school results.
