Lessons Learned |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Facilitators need more training and support to move group along. Easy to slip into being a "study group."
- Especially at the high school, scheduling time for teams to meet outside of time provided by the district is difficult.
- Team members want to know how/what other teams are doing--within their district and among districts.
- Communication about team progress is important.
- Teams struggle with template--especially at first. Need to build skills in hypothesis framing, summarizing and using external research, writing goals, organizing data.
- Hard at first to see how individual goals fit into the broader team goals. Important to keep individual goals narrow in focus.
- Administrators need more coaching so they can more effectively support their teams' work.
- At first, teams seem overwhelmed--difficult to enjoy the process. They are worried about getting done. Few teams get through the entire cycle (PDSA) the first year (we didn't expect them to).
- Once teams get going, they are very enthusiastic about the work!
