Brief: Engaging Critical Perspectives
In educational spaces, it is no longer aspirational but imperative that the community—with its richness and diversity—joins educators as key instructional partners to liberate the creativity, uniqueness, and potential of all students. As educators, we can miss the value of this collaboration. This brief defines critical perspectives, why engagement is necessary, how to select and engage critical perspectives, and evaluate the process.
For Domains for Rapid School Improvement: An Implementation Framework
NIRN and the National Center for School Turnaround (2018) published the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement: An Implementation Framework as a companion to the Center for School Turnaround’s (2017) recent publication of The Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement: A Systems Framework. The aim of this companion paper is to describe how to use the improvement domains in practice.
Improvement Cycles Overview
Formally known as “modules” on the AI Hub, we have condensed the information into document overviews. As you begin your journey of implementation, take a moment to read and learn more about improvement cycles (PDSA).
