This document offers a menu of change ideas available to network members as a way to support their continuous improvement work. Each change idea includes the scenario and topic it addresses, the levers to improve, what the improvement team will test to monitor progress, and the opportunity to designate roles.
This report and summary from PACE shares lessons gleaned from work with two learning networks, CORE Districts and California Education Partners. Their findings include insights on data infrastructure, practical measurement, continuous improvement language, and network development.
This slide deck is from a session where members of Eskolta shared examples of recent initiatives centering and uplifting student voice, including the establishment of a Youth Advisory Board (YAB), a Youth Participatory Action Research Committee (YPAR), and the development of a continuum of student voice in research (framework).

The Leading Through Learning Playbook is a website that includes research-backed recommendations, case studies, and a suite of step-by-step tools and protocols to support leaders as they build customized Theories of Leadership.
This graphic organizer template, with instructions, shows how Battelle for Kids supports network members to identify and test a specific change idea using a PDSA approach.
This document outlines the process Battelle for Kids uses when conducting student agency learning walks. This protocol allows for short classroom visits in small groups or individually.
This protocol helps network members to gain insight on student experience, better understand students' thoughts, feeling, and motivations related to agency, and surface solutions and needs.
As you continue to test out new ideas through CI, check out these resources to ensure equity is the core of every idea.
The resources in this collection will help your team explore different approaches used by schools and districts with 9th grade on-track goals. You will be able to access protocols, research, tools, and exemplars that offer evidence-based approaches to improvement in this area.
