Shift has created a series of engaging videos that introduce tools to support your improvement journey. From employing empathy in project design to developing effective measures of success, these videos can help you create a baseline understanding of continuous improvement. Your team can also use them to get the most out of a convening or coaching session. The videos are easy to share with teachers, students, and others you want to bring into your CI efforts.
