While several texts provide pedagogical and theoretical insights on improvement science for faculty, graduate students, and educational leaders, practitioners’ voices are seldom heard. Improvement Science in the Field: Cases of Practitioners Leading Change in Schools fills this gap by presenting real-life cases of K-12 practitioners’ use of improvement science to lead change in their educational systems.Improvement Science in the Field: Cases of Practitioners Leading Change in Schools contains two sections. Part I presents practitioners’ accounts of their use of improvement science to address actual problems of practice, such as closing discipline and achievement gaps, managing teacher stress and mental health, and improving school climate. Part II follows a tradition of case-based teaching in which authors provide part of their improvement journey and then invite readers to practice, discuss, brainstorm, and reflect on how they would address the problem presented using the tools of improvement science.
