School-based management refers to a form of educational administration in which the school becomes the primary unit for decision-making. The book is structured into five parts. In part 1, international developments in school-based decision-making and management are documented and analyzed. Described are developments in Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, the United Kingdom (England and Wales), and the United States. In part 2, theoretical perspectives are offered examining the broad economic and political dynamics that have contributed to the use of school-based decision-making and management as an administrative study. These are complemented by perspectives in practice in part 3 that address other responsibilities of people at the school level. Part 4 contains the findings of research conducted in school systems that have moved toward school-based decision-making. Part 5 contains an analysis of school-based decision-making and management based on the contents of this book and a discussion of future prospects in the field. The 16 chapters are made up of contributions from an array of leading international experts in the field of educational studies. It is written from a wide range of perspectives from educational disciplines to organizational application. (RR)

In a context where schools are held more and more accountable for the education they provide, data-based decision making has become increasingly important. This book brings together scholars from several countries to examine data-based decision making. Data-based decision making in this book refers to making decisions based on a broad range of evidence, such as scores on students’ assessments, classroom observations etc. This book supports policy-makers, people working with schools, researchers and school leaders and teachers in the use of data, by bringing together the current research conducted on data use across multiple countries into a single volume. Some of these studies are ‘best practice’ studies, where effective data use has led to improvements in student learning. Others provide insight into challenges in both policy and practice environments. Each of them draws on research and literature in the field.

Education has fought long and hard to gain acceptance as a profession and, since professionals by definition use data to shape the decisions they make, education has little choice but to continue moving in this direction. This 3-part handbook represents a major contribution to the literature of education. It is a unique compendium of the most original work currently available on how, when and why evidence should be used to ground practice. It is a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary, research-based, and practice-based resource that all educators can turn to as a guide to data-based decision making. The Handbook of Data-Based Decision Making in Education is a must read for researchers who are just beginning to explore the scientifically based nature of educational practice. It is also appropriate for policy makers and practitioners who are confronted with young people who need to be in classrooms where "best practices" are the norm and not the exception.

An increasing number of developing countries are introducing School-Based Management (SBM) reforms aimed at empowering principals and teachers or at strengthening their professional motivation, thereby enhancing their sense of ownership of the school. Many of these reforms have also strengthened parental involvement in the schools, sometimes by means of school councils. SBM programs take many different forms in terms of who has the power to make decisions as well as the degree of ecision-making devolved to the school level.

An increasing number of developing countries are introducing school-based management (SBM) reforms that are aimed at empowering principals and teachers or at strengthening their professional motivation, thereby enhancing their sense of school ownership. Many of these reforms have also strengthened parental involvement in the schools. SBM programs take many different forms in terms of who has the decision-making power and the degree of decision making that devolves to the school level. While some programs transfer authority only to school principals or teachers, others encourage or mandate parental and community participation, often through school committees. SBM has the potential to become a low-cost way of making public education spending more efficient by increasing the accountability of those involved and by empowering those individuals to improve learning outcomes. 'Decentralized Decision-Making in Schools' reviews more than 20 country experiences with SBM in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, and North America. For each country, the authors provide a brief description of the SBM reform along with any evidence regarding its impact on a variety of indicators, from student test scores and dropout and retention rates, to parent and teacher perceptions of the reform's benefits. Overall, the authors found that SBM has had a positive impact on some variables--mainly in reducing repetition and failure rates, and in improving attendance rates--but has had mixed results on others such as test scores, possibly due to the timing of the reform. 'Decentralized Decision-Making in Schools' will be useful to teams preparing education projects with an emphasis on decentralized authority, to education officials interested in school reform, and to governments worldwide looking to improve education for all students.

"Data-based decision-making" or "evidence-based decision-making" in education are now popularized phrases to describe the systematic collection and analysis of various types of data to help improve the success of students and schools (Marsh, Pane, & Hamilton, 2006). The theory of action underlying data use activities implies that educationi practitioners who ground their decisions in evidence will more effectively deliver methodical improvements to teaching and learning. However, very little research has been conducted to test this hypothesis. In addition to the research community's vague understanding of how schools and the individuals comprising schools interpret and implement data-based decision-making policies, it is difficult to determine whether data use practices are actually associated with improved instruction. As a result, school districts, as well as state and federal policy makers, have little understanding of how schools are actually using data, how differences in data use may affect school performance, and/or what kinds of measures could be used to indicate the effective use of data in schools. This comparative case study of three high schools in Los Angeles Unified School District develops an illustrative understanding of how school decision-makers (i.e., teachers, principals, and district personnel) make meaning of directives to "use data for decision-making" and how the use of school-based data takes place in practical application. Drawing upon interview and observational data from principals, teachers, and district managers, it acknowledges that schools are inundated with multiple data sources and that teachers and administrators regularly rely on data use practices. The expectation that schools should more systematically, formally, and cooperatively review data to steer conversations around teaching and learning, however, implies paradigmatic shifts in the ways that data are currently understood and utilized. Findings suggest that the effective use of school data in decision-making by school practitioners was not the product of an organized, rational process, nor one simply improved with the introduction of inputs and interventions. Rather, it suggests that culturally derived definitions of credible data, leadership, decision-making processes, accountability, organizational learning, and evaluation - and even whether data are relevant in teachers' thinking in institutional contexts - shape stakeholder attitudes toward data use in classrooms and schools. In constant dialogue, stakeholders tacitly and explicitly negotiated what data were used in measuring school, teacher, and student performance, how data were collected and analyzed in ways that maintained credibility, who was involved in decision-making moments and in what ways, and how data could meaningfully inform programmatic student supports and instructional improvements. Data and data use processes intended to influence decision-making were, as a result, reliant on cultural, political, and subjective factors, and evolved in necessarily gradual cycles of establishment, revision, and refinement.
