Description
"Mandinach and Gummers' thorough analysis of the DLFT construct and resultant conceptual contributions should enable various stakeholders (e.g., researchers, teacher educators) to stand on common and solid conceptual footing. The framework provides the most comprehensive, organized, and detailed treatment of the elusive DLFT construct to date." -- Mid-Western Educational Researcher "This framework is nothing short of a feat. Complex and comprehensive, it successfully communicates the cyclical nature of Data Literacy for Teachers, unpacks the myriad of skills demanded by DLFT, and articulates the kinds of teacher knowledge and beliefs that DLFT draws on. Such a framework will likely have broad appeal for researchers, teacher educators, and policy makers." --Harvard Educational Review
