This case study challenges aspiring school leaders to analyze data and develop school improvement objectives, strategies for sharing data, and strategies for change. Candidates must analyze the data, determine potential issues that should be addressed by the new principal, and develop a list of further data sources needed. Candidates could also select one area of concern and develop a research-based plan to address the concern. The case may be used in a campus or district leadership course, as a problem-based learning assignment, or as a way to demonstrate and apply the use of data to leadership decisions.
