Evidence for Improvement (EFI) Network
Abstract/Description
The Carnegie Foundation has partnered with the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to provide learning support to its Deeper Learning + Diffusion of Innovation and Scaled Impact network. The network’s 10 research-practice partnerships are working to (1) advance deeper learning at scale in K–12 contexts with a focus on creating equitable learning environments for all students and (2) develop theoretical insight into questions related to the scaling and sustainability of deeper learning instruction.
To inform this work, Carnegie will draw on its emerging conceptual framework for providing analytic support to improvement networks and organizations known as Evidence for Improvement, which provides guidance to analysts and evaluators seeking to support continuous improvement efforts. EFI argues that analysts should support improvement organizations as they develop and refine their theories of improvement, monitor and measure the “health” of the organizations engaged in improvement, and help improvement organizations map factors in their broader policy and political environment in order to respond strategically.
