This session, pre-recorded as part of the virtual 2020 Summit on Improvement in Education, explores ways that measurement for improvement differs from measurement for other purposes in education. It introduces the concept of a “system of measures” and offers a case example of how a such a system functions to inform an improvement effort.
When we hear the word measurement used in education, we often think of accountability systems or research paradigms. But in the improvement community, measurement is key to learning. In this session, participants get an overview of how to use measurement in improvement science and an introduction to what measures are useful in an improvement context.
