High-reliability organizations (HROs) avoid serious accidents or catastrophic failures in domains in which accidents are often the norm and management of risk factors. These kinds of organizations exist in many industries, including the healthcare and education systems. In this session, participants will learn about the key tenets that guide the operation of HROs and explore how these practices can be applied more broadly in education to reduce unwanted system failures and improve student outcomes.
