For those new to the ways in which analytics can be used to shape policy and administration / management, this chapter is a significant resource. It both introduces the work and the possibilities, but also takes a reflective critical approach. Clearly written, the chapter has both concrete examples of this work (both for K-12 and higher education), as well as a catalogue of cautions.
