Start Small, Learn Fast: An Improvement Journey
Description:
How can America’s schools get better at getting better? Too often in education we go fast, learn slow, and fail to appreciate what it actually takes to make some promising idea work in practice. Go on a year-long journey with four 8th grade teachers as they learn to use improvement science to improve outcomes in a high-poverty school. We’re starting small, learning fast, and sharing our story in the hopes that your improvement work will be a little less bumpy.
