Joseph Burke, Superintendent of Schools :
"Dr. Johnsons work provides both the philosophical and practical blueprint for transforming public schools into the learning communities we want and need. Leaders will find the book to be the most useful document to guide and inform their efforts to close the gap and maximize learning for all students." Vinetta C. Jones, Dean, School of Education :
"If the goal of all students reaching high standards is to be met,
Using Data to Close the Achievement Gap should be required reading for all teachers and administrators. It should also be an integral part of the course of study for those preparing to teach in the United States."
Laurie Olsen, Chief Program Officer :
"With this visionary and easy to use resource in hand, all educatorsteachers, counselors and administratorscan and must make data part of a lifelong practice to ensure high achievement for all students."
Aukram Burton, Diversity/Multicultural Specialist : "From her penetrating analysis of current research, policies, and practices, and her wealth of experiences working with school districts around the nation, Johnson clearly makes the connection between using data and achieving equitable outcomes as districts and schools struggle to close the achievement gap."
Walter Allen, Professor of Sociology :
"This book represents a significant contribution to the national debate around school reform. Ruth Johnson presents a thoughtful, well-documented treatise on how educators, policy makers, and parents can use data to set achievement goals and measure school progress toward these goals."
