Dr. Lisa Cala Ruud’s dissertation defense presentation on how odds-beating school principals use data
How do high school principals use data to make decisions? Dr. Lisa Cala Ruud explored this question in her recent dissertation study based on the NYKids College and Career Readiness Phase 1 Study. Drawing on interviews, surveys, and document reviews, Cala Ruud focused on three secondary schools with above-predicted graduation rates in her analysis. Cala Ruud shows how these principals creatively use data to address increasingly complex challenges in their schools.
