Exploring the Pathway to Rapid District Improvement

Lane, B. (2009). Center on Innovation & Improvement

This report, from the Center on Innovation and Improvement, describes a “framework for district capacity building and improvement.”  Using case studies of two districts, the report asks how districts can “engage in rapid and sustainable improvement efforts.” 

Drawing upon additional research, the authors identify a core set of “rapid improvement indicators” and highlight specific issues and challenges that state and district leaders must address in order to create the “conditions necessary to catalyze rapid and sustainable district improvement.”
