At this 10th anniversary Carnegie Summit, the field of improvement in education is at an important inflection point. Interest in improvement-based work is strong, but how do grow the field in way that reliably increase equity and opportunity? During this Gates-sponsored breakfast session, you will hear about the Carnegie Foundation’s “Voices of Improvement” project that seeks to capture the stories, needs, challenges, and aspirations of improvers across the United States. You will also contribute to work being done by High Tech High and the Improvement Collective to develop ideas for organizing the field to maintain momentum and coherence for this important work. We invite you to bring your ideas and perspectives to shaping how we sustain and grow the field of improvement in education together.
