The focus of the article is the process educators use to interpret data to turn it into usable knowledge (Honig & Coburn, 2008) while engaging in a continuous improvement process. The authors examine the types of evidence educators draw upon, its perceived relevance, and the social context in which the evidence is examined. Evidence includes data related to student or school outputs (e.g., passing rates), inputs (e.g., student demographic information), school processes (e.g., data on program implementation) and perceptions (e.g., surveys) (Marsh, 2012). Previous research also indicates that educators draw on evidence substitutes--anecdotal information, experience, intuition, ideological preference, and customary practice (Bryk & Gomez, 2008; Dorman & Binnewies, 2015; Ingram, Louis, & Schroeder, 2004). Considering this diversity of evidence enabled the authors to examine how teacher-led implementation teams come to shared conclusions about what they are learning about their improvement efforts. The following research questions are asked: (1) How are educators learning about and using data for the improvement of a school-wide reform; (2) What types of evidence are they citing to make claims about what they are learning; and (3) What are the barriers educators face as they learn how to apply data to make claims about what they are learning? Two tables are appended.

Have you ever felt joy--in your soul? In this article, the author addresses the origin of joy, how joy itself is encoded in the light, and how each one of us can feel this joy when we understand the procreant balance that comprises the nature of light. Author Bio: Christopher Alan Anderson (1950 - ) received the basis of his education from the University of Science and Philosophy, Swannanoa, Waynesboro, Virginia. He resides in the transcendental/romantic tradition, that vein of spiritual creativity of the philosopher and poet. His quest has been to define and express an eternal romantic reality from which a man and a woman could together stand in their difference and create a living universe of procreative love. Mr. Anderson began these writings in 1971. The first writings were published in 1985. On a personal note, when Mr. Anderson was asked to describe the writings and what he felt their message was he responded, "Spiritual procreation. Mankind has yet to distinguish the two sexes on the spiritual level. In this failure lies the root of our problems and why we cannot yet touch the eternal together. The message of man and woman balance brings each of us together in love with our eternal other half right now."
