Abstract
This chapter argues that evidence about student performance is clearly essential for school leaders to successfully carry out their school improvement task. But such information provided by large-scale assessment is often fraught with limitations and is always woefully insufficient. Actually improving student performance also requires information of a very different order and the absence of this information in most schools greatly diminishes school leaders’ chances of success. Several types and sources of such evidence are proposed and illustrated in the chapter.
