Why Use School Information Software?

For anyone involved in implementing or
upgrading a Student Information System (SIS), or for those
who simply want to maximize the benefits of their existing
SIS, this practical guide by noted expert Sue Lloyd is your
first resource.

Why Use School Information
Software? answers many key questions school staff may have
about their (SIS) software. In clear, direct language, Lloyd
explains how to reduce the costs of data management and make
staff training more effective. She highlights key concepts
of SIS software and explores the following topics
in-depth:

• Defining data management
  
• Working within a district
• Building your
  school's data foundation
• Constructing your staff
  resources
• Managing attendance data
• And
  much more

In addition to Lloyd's own experience,
she also uses real-life stories to demonstrate how schools
have underestimated the costs of such SIS systems, and how
this has negatively affected the district as a whole. Lloyd
provides workable solutions to these dilemmas, and
challenges educators and administrators to analyze how SIS
systems impact leadership in education.

Essential
reading for teachers transitioning into administration as
well as current administration officials, Why Use School
Information Software? serves as an indispensible tool for
