From Data to Action is a welcome guide for leaders who are looking for ways to archive and analyze data from schools and agencies across their communities to improve policy making and programs for children and teens.

Editors Milbrey McLaughlin and Rebecca A. London bring together participants of the Youth Data Archive at Stanford University. The participants describe its unique effort to overcome legal and other hurdles in blazing a new path for the more productive use of cross-agency data. The chapters give detailed background on how the archive was built and how its findings have led to improvements in services, particularly for children at risk.

From Data to Action is a timely, compelling, and important book that addresses how school and other community leaders can go even further toward understanding the strengths and needs of their students by gathering data from agencies across their communities, studying and archiving the information, and using it to improve teaching and learning. From the foreword by Thomas W. Payzant, former professor of practice, Harvard Graduate School of Education

This pioneering book vividly reports on how local leaders, now armed with thick evidence, make sure that no student falls through the cracks. From Philly to San Francisco, From Data to Action reports on inspiring progress in how activists and scholars are pulling together to elevate the next generation. Bruce Fuller, professor, education and public policy, University of California, Berkeley

From Data to Action is an important and courageous book that powerfully illustrates how data created and shared with the community can simultaneously advance scholarship and the quality of life of children and their families. McLaughlin and London s honest account of the strengths and difficulties of democratic, actionable research is simply invaluable for developing and sustaining meaningful university-community partnerships. Ira Harkavy, associate vice president and director, Netter Center for Community Partnerships, University of Pennsylvania

Rebecca A. London is a senior researcher at the John W. Gardner Center for Youth and Communities and the researcher overseeing all analyses conducted with the Youth Data Archive."
