Rural Schools’ Adaptations, Improvements, and Innovations – Carnegie
This Carnegie Foundation Summit presentation revisits Fort Plain Junior Senior High school which has partnered with NYKids for a number of years in using NYKids’ positive outlier/deviance research in combination with improvement science-based processes and tools in what we call COMPASS.
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching hosts a summit every year that convenes representative from grant funding organizations, policymakers, researchers and professional practitioners among others in efforts to “learn to get better at getting better”. This year NYKids in partnership with Fort Plain Junior Senior High School, share how we have worked to translate research into practical improvements for navigating the pandemic. Carnegie’s virtual summit provides participants opportunities to learn about improvement science from Carnegie staff as well as learn from other improvers about how they have pursued their improvement work in all levels of education and from the U.S. and around the world. In this week’s blog we share some key highlights from NYKids’ Carnegie Summit presentation available on-demand from April 23rd-April 28th for those who might still have time to participate. This presentation may be of particular interest to those interested in improvement science. This blog offers links to our powerpoint and upcoming workshops and intensive direct support opportunities NYKids will be offering in the coming weeks to assist school and district leaders and their improvement teams navigate their fall reopening planning.
