Synopsis

This book addresses the dire need for an approach to statistical analysis as it relates to educational leadership decision-making applications. Not only does it point out the relevance of statistics in the day-to-day lives of principals and teachers, but it integrates current technology into the teaching and learning of statistics, and provides statistical strategies that will help educators improve their skills in problem analysis, programme and student evaluation, data-based decision-making , and report preparation.
