1S: Experimenting for Improvement

How do you know which changes will lead to real improvement? In this interactive session, participants will go beyond traditional PDSA cycles to learn and apply principles of planned experimentation—a structured, efficient approach to testing changes. Through a hands-on activity, participants will design, run, and analyze multi-factor tests to uncover not just if a change works, but how, when, and for whom. Whether you're working to improve student outcomes, instructional practices, or operational processes, you'll leave with practical tools to test multiple changes at once and generate deeper insight into how your system responds to change.
