Foundational Handbook on Improvement Research in Education

The Foundational Handbook in Improvement Research in Education elaborates the intellectual foundations, explores the organizational and policy contexts, reviews approaches, and examines methods of improvement research.

The Foundational Handbook on Improvement Research in Education is a product of the Improvement Scholars Network, a field building initiative catalyzed by the Carnegie Foundation aimed at elevating improvement research in professional, academic, and policy contexts. Designed for researchers, students, and educators, the handbook includes contributions from a community of researchers with diverse expertise and with experience collaborating with teachers, leadership, families, and communities in local problem solving and design.

To learn more about the handbook, view this session with the editorial team, presented at the 2021 Summit on Improvement in Education:
