I'm really proud of this article, and the work of Wilton, whose leaders deserve a great deal of credit. We've been working on a framework that's like Acceleration 2.0; you can watch a video of me explaining it here: https://t.co/9aUk9FAPUH

"...one message the course sends to students is to show a little humility in your efforts to improve schools. Learn more about how the system works before tinkering with it. And consider the possibility that you might make things worse." Amen. Excellent insights & resources!
My new blog post is the syllabus for my class on the History of School Reform in the US, which includes links to readings, tips on doing the reading, and class slides. Feel free to share. https://t.co/WlDR07ckSe

Great resources and connections in this—along with a personal on-ramp for learning about iterative cycles of improvement. In league with #mrpotatohead and #coinspinning! 😄
New #CoachingLetter: I try to illustrate a complete (to the extent that's possible) continuous improvement cycle; using a really mundane domestic example; foregrounding the psychology of change rather than just the tools and methods of #improvementscience. https://t.co/juc5wRyfSu
