Culturally Responsive Data Literacy

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. -- Amanda Datnow, Chancellor’s Associates Endowed Chair of Education Studies and associate dean of Social Sciences, University of California, San Diego
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. -- Lyn Corno, adjunct professor of education and psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University
