In this session, participants will explore the crucial role of equity and justice in the field of improvement science (IS). Participants will learn from a group of equity and justice-centered improvers about how they designed learning experiences for their team to critically evaluate and refine IS methods. The session will 1) equip participants with approaches, skills, and lenses for interrogating IS tools and methods; 2) provide a space to delve into vital connections between IS work and educational equity; and 3) help participants apply a justice-oriented framework to the design and execution of improvement projects.

Context is king when it comes to schools and driving change. In this session, participants will hear stories about school improvement in StriveTogether Network Communities, as well as how we are seeing place-based partnerships support sustainable CI capability building in schools. You’ll also explore our open-source District Improvement Toolkit, composed of lessons, templates, and an AI powered goal-setter designed to support district and building leaders, classroom teachers, and supporting partners as they train the trainers in their own unique local context. We have designed this workshop so that anyone, regardless of role, can walk away with an actionable next step toward understanding or furthering the readiness of schools in your community to engage in this work.
