Creating Systemic Change for Improvement and Transformation: Affordances and Limitations of Five Efforts to Improve Instruction at Scale
Sun, April 24, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), Manchester Grand Hyatt, Floor: 3rd Level, Harbor Tower, Hillcrest ABSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Creating significant systems change--change that improves instruction or significantly changes student experiences across a district, network, or larger jurisdiction--has proven an elusive, although critically important, educational goal. This session explores five efforts of districts or large-scale networks to create significant change. Some of these efforts led with curriculum or common infrastructure, some led with professional learning for district officials and schools, others focused on developing an integrated system that connected materials, professional learning, and continuous improvement. By examining these as a set, we hope to explore the affordances and limihtations of different theories of action for systemic change.
