Improvement in Action, Anthony S. Bryk's sequel to Learning to
Improve, illustrates how educators have effectively applied the six
core principles of continuous improvement in practice. The book
highlights relevant examples of rigorous, high-quality improvement
work in districts, schools, and professional development networks
across the country. The organizations featured in the book have
addressed, with remarkable results, long-standing inequitable
educational outcomes in high school graduation rates, college
readiness, and absenteeism. The cases emphasize the measures the
educators took and the thinking that motivated their actions. Bryk
describes how improvers, working in different contexts and
confronting different problems, used select principles, tools, and
methods to make improvement come to life. Brief analytic
reflections are embedded throughout the narratives, and each
chapter concludes with an analysis of a set of larger lessons
illuminated by the organization's story. Taken as a set, these
examples offer readers valuable insights about the actual dynamics
of doing improvement work. Improvement in Action, paired with
Learning to Improve, provides readers with a comprehensive
understanding of the practice, method, and theory of large-scale
continuous improvement in education.
