complexity of the job, the limits of their instructional impact, the loneliness of leadership, and the existing culture’s resistance to change.
• This is a problem in Henderson County Public Schools and in school systems across the state of North Carolina.

Improvement Science
“Improvement science
deploys rapid tests of
change to guide the
development, revision
and continued fine-
tuning of new tools,
processes, work roles
and relationships.”
“Improvement science is explicitly designed to
accelerate learning-by-doing.
It's a more user-centered and problem-centered
approached to improving teaching and learning.”
