LEADING SYSTEMS FOR SUSTAINED SYSTEMIC IMPROVEMENT - Webinar
2024-12-04 02:00 - 14:30
The Bay Area Geographic Leads Consortium (BAGLC), in partnership with WestEd, offers this session designed for organizational leaders who are seeking to turn small-scale improvement efforts into lasting, impactful results. In this hands-on introductory workshop, participants will explore how system design principles can accelerate and sustain meaningful change. Through an engaging Lego simulation, participants will learn how to align small, front-line changes to drive significant, system-wide improvements. This fun and insightful activity draws on a century of proven quality improvement practices from outside the education sector, offering valuable insights into overcoming the complex challenges school and district leaders face today.

Objectives

Leaders will be introduced to principles, methods, and tools to (re)design three interconnected systems (work, improvement, management) to meet every student’s needs.
Leaders will experience the power of aligning everyone’s efforts toward common goals while using a shared approach to improving their system as a whole.
Leaders will learn approaches and tools to recognize and solve the systemic roots of pervasive problems of practice
Leaders will reflect on the importance of establishing the organizational culture required for system transformation, including: respect for every individual, leading with humility and curiosity, applying servant leadership, and developing staff to see and solve problems they experience.

2024-12-04 08:30 - 14:00
How can we build positive learning environments for African American/Black students to reduce suspension? This five-session Network Improvement Community (NIC) is a collaborative among the Bay Area Geographic Leads’ Consortium, Santa Clara County Office of Education, and the Western Educational Equity Assistance Center (WEEAC) at WestEd.

Participating teams will have opportunities to collaborate with other teams. Teams will analyze their suspension data to design and implement a plan to address areas of need. Selected teams will receive coaching support between sessions 1 and 5.
Outcomes:
Participating Teams will:

Analyze suspension data.
Use Improvement Science processes to learn from students, parents, and staff about factors affecting suspension.
Understand and implement culturally responsive, evidence-based practices to address suspension.
Use a cultural lens to view data, analyze current practices, and determine the best approaches to address the inequitable outcomes African American/Black students experience in suspension and overall achievement.
