As a field, education has largely failed to learn from experience.
Time after time, promising education reforms fall short of their
goals and are abandoned as other promising ideas take their place.
In Learning to Improve, the authors argue for a new approach.
Rather than "implementing fast and learning slow," they believe
educators should adopt a more rigorous approach to improvement that
allows the field to "learn fast to implement well." Using ideas
borrowed from improvement science, the authors show how a process
of disciplined inquiry can be combined with the use of networks to
identify, adapt, and successfully scale up promising interventions
in education. Organized around six core principles, the book shows
how "networked improvement communities" can bring together
researchers and practitioners to accelerate learning in key areas
of education. Examples include efforts to address the high rate of
failure among students in community college remedial math courses
and strategies forimproving feedback to novice teachers. Learning
to Improve offers a new paradigm for research and development in
education that promises to be a powerful driver of improvement for
the nation's schools and colleges.
