What is a networked improvement community?
Individuals or organizations that use systematic inquiry to improve practice
Why use a networked improvement community?
“Rather than asking whether an ‘intervention works,’ a network improvement community asks, ‘what works, when, for whom and under what sets of circumstances?’” — Bryk, Gomez, & Grunow, 2015
”
Why focus schools?
In Michigan…
We can use a networked improvement community to:
• Refine supports for focus schools
• Learn from changes to supports in varied contexts
• Build district capacity to provide and refine supports
In the first of the three center ovals (starting with “Problem-Solving Protocol …”): For consistency, the 'u' in Using should be set uppercase since all other info is initial caps.
Focus schools are
new to the accountability system. They present
unique challenges where oftentimes the solution
is unknown.
What does a networked improvement community look like?
