Improvement Science in Education: A Primer serves a simple but
vital purpose: it provides a comprehensive explanation about the
field of improvement science to both novices and current
practitioners. Improvement science is a methodological framework
that is undergirded by foundational principles that guide
scholar/practitioners to define problems, understand how the system
produces the problems, identify changes to rectify those problems,
test the efficacy of those changes, and spread the changes
(assuming that the change is indeed an improvement). This Primer is
specifically designed to introduce improvement science to
educational audiences. Originally employed in such fields as
engineering and health care, it has proven to be a very effective
process for improving schools. The book first explores the
philosophical and methodological foundations of improvement
science, juxtaposing it with traditional forms of research so that
clear distinctions can be drawn. It then guides the reader through
the process of improvement. By providing many examples of
strategies to achieve educational equity, the Primer illustrates
the practicality of the method as a way to deal with today's most
pressing problems in elementary, secondary, and post-secondary
education. It should be adopted in every classroom devoted to the
topic.
