Using Statistics to Make Educational Decisions Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

An accessible introduction to statistics written specifically for Education students in the changing educational landscapeGovernment scrutiny and intensified oversight have dramatically changed the landscape of education in recent years.

Observers want to know how schools compare, which district is best, which states are spending the most per student on education, whether reforms are making a difference, and why so many students are failing.

Some of these questions require technical answers that educators historically redirected to outside experts, but the questions leveled at all educators have become so acute and persistent that they can no longer be outsourced.

This text helps educators develop the tools and the conceptual understanding needed to provide definitive answers to difficult statistical questions facing education today.
