Our schools now face a demand for productivity and accountability that is greater than ever before. Many school leaders are ill prepared to implement a system that will use real time data to monitor, manage and make the teaching/learning activity in the school more effective. This book introduces school leaders to such a system and provides the concepts and “hand on tools” that will guide them in their efforts to draw people together in pursuit of a common goal and to bring out the best performance from the people with whom they work.
