Prepare every child to be college, career, and community ready
We're working with two elementary schools to identify a specific problem and opportunity in the way we work toward literacy outcomes (particularly around writing), map factors that may contribute to differences in outcomes, and try a series of improvements in that area. Leadership teams and teacher teams both schools operate as part of a Networked Improvement Community (NIC) to collectively address problems of practice and learn from each other in a structured way. The teams work through four phases:
Long-term plans for scale and spread of the project include scaling within the sites at different grade levels and then applying the lessons learned from and with the teachers around Network Improvement Science to all sites as a method of identifying, testing and adapting practice.
