Introduction to Improvement Science: Lessons Learned about Engaging in Continuous Improvement from a Research-Practice Partnership
This presentation provides an overview of the Six Principles of Improvement Science and how these principles can be applied to improve student outcomes using the COMPASS-AIM process.
Drawing from lessons learned in other sectors, educators are increasingly looking for ways to address longstanding outcome disparities for children and youth growing up in poverty and from diverse ethnic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds. When seeking to improve student outcomes, the Six Principles of Improvement Science can guide educators to develop strategies for continuous improvement. The NYKids’ COMPASS-AIM process melds the principles of improvement science with research on odds-beating schools to help schools and districts tackle complex problems effecting student success.
