Networks have the power to accelerate learning when they organize around a shared theory of improvement. This session, recorded at the 2021 Summit on Improvement in Education, explores different ways of organizing and sequencing learning in a network, as well as considerations for network leaders as they design a learning strategy. Case examples in the session illustrate different learning strategies as well as routines for updating a shared theory of improvement based on network learning.
Collective improvement efforts often use a driver diagram to communicate a shared theory of improvement. In this environment, a shared theory allows for distributed learning across sites and can be regularly updated based on that learning. In this session, participants will learn different ways to organize distributed learning in a network and the routines for updating the network’s shared theory.
