Street Data, written by Shane Safir and Jamila Dugan, offers an actionable framework for a school or district’s equity journey. They note that education can be transformed if we eradicate our fixation on big data like standardized test scores as the supreme measure of equity and learning. The book offers innovative tools to apply immediately.
