Thriving networked improvement communities (NICs) exhibit distinct social structures that support and enable the technical improvement work that the NIC is organized to undertake. This session, recorded at the 2021 Summit on Improvement in Education, discusses how those features can be recognized, assessed, and developed.
What are the distinguishing features of a networked improvement community (NIC), and how do NICs change over time? In this session, NIC scholars and coaches share the Carnegie Foundation’s current theory of NIC development and a measurement framework that can be used to assess a network’s health. Methods and findings will be explored through a case study of a networked improvement community.
