Please watch the linked video. This video provides information about what a network for school improvement (NSI) is.

Please take some time to read through the Using Continuous Improvement Methods to Improve Instruction in Dallas document.

Task

Once you have completed watching the NSI video and have read the Bright Spots document, please compose a quick write in response to the following:

• What did you learn about networks for school improvement?

• What do you notice about what teachers have to say about our network project?

• What questions are you left with about the project and about NSIs?

While we will not be working with this document during our meeting - it's a great resource for understanding our theory of improvement that was built during the first years of our network. It also provides information on how each role group in Dallas ISD and how the IFL works within our framework of improvement.

Please take a look at the documents linked to the right. You don't have to look at all of the documents today, but select the document that seems most relevant to the work happening in your school. For example, if you are an IB school, you might focus your time on the IB document. If you have an AVID focus, you might start your work there.

Once your team has decided which document to focus on, please work together to review the document and then respond to the following:

• What do you notice about how IFL supports other programs in the district?

• What question do you have?

Please add your thinking to our shared Jam Board.
