Description

Description

When numbers become people, learners thrive

Waves of data—indigestible, dehumanized, and disaggregated—are crashing into the education system every day, driving you to distraction. But imagine a world where you’re not being drowned by data, but inspired by it; where that data has a FACE and gives you focused information on how to reach every student.

Sharratt and Fullan turn worldwide research into a road map for school leaders to use ongoing assessment to inform instruction and drive equity at the classroom, school, district, and state levels. Inside you will find

  • A fresh look at data to incorporate new learning
  • Updated case studies, figures, and vignettes
  • Insights from more than 500 educators in answering the 3 research questions: Why do we put FACES on data? How do we put FACES on data? and What are the top three leadership skills needed to do this work?
  • An integrated approach to using the 14 Parameters to enhance Deep Learning and critical thinking
  • Tools for committing to “equity and excellence”

FACES is about setting up the conditions for success in every classroom: identifying the right factors, at the right time, with the right resources. Its focus on student-centered data will help you:

  • Increase learners’ growth and achievement
  • improve engagement that results in students, teacher and leader empowerment
  • build cultures of learning
  • drive a learning environment of continuous improvement

Key features

This New 10th Anniversary Edition provides:

  • A refreshed look at relevant data sources and how they can be used to put FACES on individual students
  • Responses from over 500 educators world-wide to these questions: 1) Why put FACES on data? 2) How do we do so? and 3) What leadership qualities are necessary to lead system change?
  • New case studies in each chapter showcasing the impact of successful application of Sharratt & Fullan’s 14 Parameters in real school, system, and national settings
  • New figures, vignettes, and data from the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K., and other countries demonstrating how beneficial this approach is to real students
  • Practical strategies & policies showing how data can inform the enhancement of Deep Learning leading to students becoming critical thinkers prepared for the 4th Industrial Revolution
  • Practical tools for leaders who commit to equity and to making a difference for all learners

Michael Fullan

Michael Fullan served as Premier Dalton McGuinty’s Special Policy Adviser in Ontario from 2003-2013. He received the Order of Canada (OC) in December 2012 and holds five honorary doctorates from universities around the world. His ‘interim autobiography’, Surreal Change, covers his work to 2018. Michael and his colleagues are now working diligently on field-based comprehensive system change in several countries. This work operates under the umbrella of what they call the ‘shared humanity paradigm’ —Equity, Engagement, Excellence--Deep change that integrates local (school and community), middle (district/regional), and state (policy) entities.

Fullan’s favorite method of learning is to partner with groups that are engaged with change; and to learn together with them. (And then to write another book about the experiences, and what was learned).

Michael Fullan’s latest books are: Nuance (2019), Spirit Work and the Science of Collaboration (with Mark Edwards, 2022), The Principal 2.0 (2023), and The Drivers (with Joanne Quinn, 2023).
