Today, we wanted to give the listeners' an opportunity to learn more about using improvement science to tackle challenges of remote learning. We are joined by New York City Department of Education experts from the Central Academic Response Team and the Continuous Learning Team. We will also be joined by two schools who have used improvement science to get to the root cause of problems their community has experienced since transition to remote learning. We will discuss the importance of developing the mindset to take risks and think outside the box!
