“Though other books and publications exist that present and discuss improvement science (many of which are cited throughout the series), the Improvement Science in Education series exhibits the most comprehensive coverage of improvement science currently available. Crow, Hinnant-Crawford, and Spaulding have curated a collection of books that showcases the breadth and depth of improvement science appealing to a variety of audiences, regardless of backgrounds, expertise, and readiness levels. . .

“These books are a must for public school educators and public school districts looking to better understand how improvement science methods can lead to contextual school improvement. The series builds foundational understanding of the core principles of improvement science and systems-level change with attention to the key methods, tools and processes involved. In addition, the authentic examples of improvement science in practice from educators engaged in the work offer insight into how our public schools can truly get better at getting better!”
