Time: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET

Location: Virtual

Description: This is the first of two sessions with a state department of education’s continuous improvement team. Throughout the two learning sessions, the REL will seek to build capacity in the state team to facilitate Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles through networked improvement communities in their jurisdictions.

The goal of this coaching session is to review tools the team can implement when conducting PDSA cycles (conducting root cause analysis through a fishbone diagram, identifying a change practice through a driver diagram). The REL will also provide a brief overview of the Continuous Improvement Toolkit to encourage its use when working with school teams.

Partnership or Research Alliance: School Support and Improvement

Audience: The primary audiences for this coaching session is the continuous improvement team in a mid-Atlantic state’s department of education.
