PRESENTERS Kenli Okada and Kristen Wolfe, EmpowerK12

DETAILS Continuous improvement is both a new, hot practice and also something we’ve been talking about for years. The Gates Foundation is now investing millions of dollars into networks for school improvement. But what exactly is continuous improvement (sometimes referred to as improvement science) and what does it look like? This session will address the principles of improvement science, how continuous improvement is about more than just trying to get better, and strategies to help you get started. This session is for school leaders, teachers, and new or experienced data managers.
