How do you know what program or strategy is going to work best for your school or district? Deciding among alternatives can be challenging, and there are many factors to consider - including the supporting evidence.
DecisionMaker© is a practice-driven online tool for helping educators to make those tough decisions. In this workshop, Fiona Hollands, one of the creators of DecisionMaker©, explains how to use this and how it has helped other school and district leaders.
Fiona Hollands is a Senior Researcher in the Department of Education Policy & Social Analysis at Teachers College, Columbia University. She has developed various online tools, including DecisionMaker®, to facilitate the use of evidence in decision-making. Prior to becoming an education researcher, Dr. Hollands worked in finance and briefly taught high school math.
