High Tech High Room 108
In this session, we invite you to explore the story of an innovative improvement network that embraced the motto “Fail Forward” to make substantial strides in educational outcomes.  This session will explore how network teams—from diverse contexts—collaborated to measure outcomes, scale effective practices, and create structures for sustained growth. We’ll discuss lessons learned from early missteps, like overlooking user perspectives, and how these experiences shaped our approach. Discover the struggle of refining change ideas, the challenges of sustaining efforts at scale, and strategies for keeping teams energized. Engage with examples, key learnings, and practical applications to inspire your own improvement journey.
