66.051 - Testing Continuous Improvement in Practice: Learning Locally to Improve at Scale
Mon, April 8, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 200 Level, Room 202CSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Continuous Improvement has become a central strategy for reform in federal, state, and foundation efforts to support school improvement. Evidence from other sectors show great promise for dramatically changing outcomes in vastly different organizations. To date, while there is some evidence of impact in education, the idea is relatively new and untested. Data system requirements, processes for institutionalizing improvement processes, and approaches for leading these changes need to be better understood if this approach is to achieve its promise in education. This symposium consists of four papers, which collectively articulate a framework and required resources for continuous improvement and then provide examples from two of the nation’s stronger examples of networked improvement communities.
