Vulnerable students have been marginalized through the use of accountability data for many years. This book describes an important construct, culturally responsive data literacy (CRDL), which merges data literacy and culturally responsive practices to help educators assume a whole child perspective, an asset model, and an equity lens to the examination and use of data. CRDL promotes the use of diverse data sources such as students' personal backgrounds as well as academic history to help educators better meet individual needs, rather than reducing students to a single test score. The book provides authentic scenarios developed around topics educators may encounter in practice. It presents guiding questions that can help educators examine unconscious bias. The book, in taking a systems approach, seeks to reach educator preparation programs, in-service technical assistance providers, and professional organizations to build awareness of the importance of CRDL and to provide usable resources for educators at all levels.

-The only all-in-one resource showing how to use data literacy to support culturally responsiveness in PK-12 classrooms.

-There are few options that explore, and explore well, what it means to be culturally responsive when it comes to the assessment of students.

-Accessible and practical for teachers, cohesively tied to theory underlying the practice.

-Valuable resource for teacher professional development as well as preservice teacher preparation, with an abundance of concrete, practical examples and scenarios with actionable recommendations, not merely theory.

Industry Reviews

One of the things that matters most in learning to teach is understanding how to use data to make good decisions. The present volume embraces new research to remake the data literacy concept, emphasizing the role of cultural responsiveness in this process. Whether we practice teaching or not, the decisions we make in many aspects of life can benefit from the informative and entertaining scenarios for culturally responsive data literacy that Mandinach provides in this book.

This actionable and accessible volume offers a much-needed toolbox for engaging in culturally relevant data use. The real-life scenarios are invaluable resources for both practitioners and researchers to grapple with pressing issues of equity and ethics in data use efforts. This book offers critically important guidance for undertaking this work in a shifting political and policy landscape.
