Introduction to Networked Improvement Basics<\/em><\/strong>TM<\/sup><\/em><\/strong> is an eight-week online course that prepares educators, leaders, and support providers to use improvement science tools and methodologies to tackle persistent educational problems and advance better outcomes and systems. Improvement science brings discipline and methods to problem solving while activating the agency of all stakeholders to work together, guided by inquiry and evidence, to improve outcomes reliably and at scale. Through testing innovations, refining, and testing them again, improvers transform systems and make progress on challenges facing their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this course, participants will engage with adaptive learning modules, optional live sessions, and scenario-based assignments to develop a conceptual understanding of the principles and practices of improvement science and build their skills in applying improvement methods to real problems of practice. This self-paced course is ideal for individuals and teams wishing to build foundational knowledge in improvement science and develop mindsets that are supportive of an improvement approach to change.<\/p>\n\n\n
