The range of case examples helps show educators how to meaningfully change practices to better meet the individual needs of students. The focus on using data to plan, implement, and evaluate progress is key and its emphasis of looking not only at the individual student but also the schoolwide performance can help administrators think better about how resources are being allocated and used. -- BETH HARN * PROFESSOR OF SPECIAL EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF OREGON *
