IR 1B: Coordinating Multiple Strands of Network Support with the Network for College Success

Note: If you attend this session, your lunch will be after this session -- from 12:45-1:45 p.m. -- in the High Tech Elementary Gym ("Round 2 Lunch"). This session focuses on how the NCS Partner Schools Network is supporting 15 Chicago public high schools to improve Black and Brown 9th grader outcomes by strengthening peer-to-peer academic relationships. Our team is looking for improvement feedback on how to align and simplify support across leadership roles—so instructional improvements spread schoolwide, student supports feel connected, and measurement is meaningful without overwhelming schools.  SESSION FORMAT NOTE: Improvement Reviews are a powerful routine that supports team learning and organizational change. Presenters share an improvement effort in progress, reflect on data and learning, pose a dilemma, and receive expert feedback. Led by Summit facilitators in a fishbowl format, these sessions allow attendees to experience the routine, learn from the presenting team, and gain insights for their own improvement work. Improvement Reviews are a key way we “walk our talk” as a learning community that celebrates and pushes each other’s work.
