Welcome to the Change Library!

This Change Library is a collection of real examples from teams who have created a process to address a problem, and it’s intended to inspire your team and spark ideas for changes in your own context.

Change Idea Process

The change idea cycle usually consists of three steps: the idea, the plan, and the measuring the data. Once a change idea cycle is complete, a new cycle starts. Following the adopt, adapt, abandon guidance, new cycles may build upon what has already been tested, or may start in an entirely new content area or grade level. Read more about the change idea process in our Change Library.

Continuous Improvement

The methodology we use as part of our Early School Success and Early School Success Academy work is improvement science. In this continuous, iterative process, participants identify opportunities for improvement within their systems to better meet the needs of students and families. Our work invites diverse positionalities that can speak to the classroom, school, and district levels. Through this process, folks identify and pilot small changes and measure their impact over time.
