In this video, the presenter walks through an example of engaging in successive PDSA cycles to move from testing a change in one setting to scaling it across a system, highlighting the different opportunities for learning as a change is brought to new contexts.
Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles provide a structured way to test and refine changes to ensure they will reliably lead to quality outcomes. Testing changes in increasingly varied contexts supports learning about the adaptations and supports that may be needed for a change to lead to quality results reliably at scale.
This video presents an example from the Buliding Teaching Effectiveness Network (BTEN) that illustrates how a change was adapted and how supports for that change were identified as it progressed from small-scale testing toward system-wide implementation.
