Story
Education can be transformed if we eradicate our fixation on big data like standardized test scores as the supreme measure of equity and learning. Instead of the focus being on “fixing” and “filling” academic gaps, we must envision and rebuild the system from the student up—with classrooms, schools and systems built around students’ brilliance, cultural wealth, and intellectual potential. Street data reminds us that what is measurable is not the same as what is valuable and that data can be humanizing, liberatory and healing.

Outsized Focus on Race
From this book's title you would imagine its focus is leadership. However, as you get into it there is a needless and gratuitous undercurrent and focus on race. I don't appreciate the bait and switch.
