چکیده (انگلیسی):

Although data driven-decision making has been the mantra of school reform for the last 10 years,
school leaders benet from frequent discussions in how to engage teachers in the process. As a result,
the purpose of this paper is to apply Reeves (2004) framework concerning Antecedents of Excellence in
creating a school culture that routinely uses data to inform instruction. The authors argue principals must
focus on three antecedents as precursors to eective data use: leadership responsibilities, professional
development responsibilities, and school culture responsibilities. Additionally, the authors highlight
shared leadership as being instrumental when creating a data-driven culture. Applications for practice
are included.
