This is one of the many lessons Higher Expectations for Racine County<\/a> has learned from the StriveTogether Cradle to Career Network.<\/p>\n Racine is home to several global manufacturing companies, like SC Johnson, that have been using continuous improvement for decades. Although the concept of \u201ccontinuous improvement\u201d \u2014 using data to identify challenges, make a plan and monitor progress \u2014 is not new to our business partners, it is relatively new to the education and social sectors both in Racine and throughout the county.<\/p>\n Higher Expectations and Racine Unified School District (RUSD) are committed to building a culture of continuous improvement within our schools, and across the community, to improve outcomes for all students. In addition to rigorously using data to monitor programs, we are learning from the School District of Menomonee Falls (SDMF), where the use of continuous improvement processes has resulted in dramatic changes inside classrooms and across the district.<\/p>\n In April 2017, after sending several RUSD teachers to SDMF\u2019s Symposium on Continuous Improvement<\/a>, Higher Expectations and RUSD hosted a Professional Learning Community event for teachers interested in applying continuous improvement practices in their own classrooms. For an entire day, 17 teachers reflected on what they learned during the symposium, how they are already using data in their own classrooms and how they might continue to learn from one another as they apply new practices, like plan,\u00a0do, study, act (PDSA) cycles, to drive student achievement.<\/p>\n Throughout the day, several key themes emerged as teachers discussed continuous improvement in the classroom:<\/p>\n During the 2017-2018 academic year, Higher Expectations and RUSD will scale up training efforts to help teachers across the district begin to apply continuous improvement practices in the classroom. By using data as a flashlight in our classrooms, we believe that we will begin to uncover the practices that are working and improve outcomes for all students in RUSD. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Guest post by Kirstin Yeado of Higher Expectations for Racine County, a StriveTogether Cradle to Career Network community.
