The Improvement Scholars Network is a community of professors, researchers, technical assistance providers, and educational professionals in the US and around the world who are collaborating to build bridges within and between higher education and K-12 public education, all with the aim of building the field of improvement research in education. The ISN was initiated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 2018, and it has since expanded to over 400 members. Join us for a lively session to learn about ongoing and future field building initiatives, to network with ISN leaders, and to learn how the ISN can support you in advancing improvement in your classrooms, schools, systems, and communities.
