Leadership for Continuous Improvement [Syllabus for EDLF 7812]
Abstract/Description
This course provides educators with tools to initiate and sustain continuous improvement to promote all students’ academic success and well-being. Drawing on improvement science, the course provides frameworks and protocols for understanding and leading systemic change in schools and school systems. Activities include authentic application of approaches used to support continuous improvement towards high-quality teaching and leading in P-12 school systems across the country: (1) making the work problem-specific and user-centered; (2) focusing on variation in performance; (3) seeing the system that produces current outcomes; and (4) the centrality of measurement for improvement (Bryk, Gomez, Grunow, & LeMahieu, 2015). Actual cases of successful and unsuccessful efforts to initiate and sustain continuous improvement in a variety of schools are a component of the course.
