As a field, education has largely failed to learn from experience.Time after time, promising education reforms fall short of their goals and are abandoned as other promising ideas take their place. InLearning to Improve, the authors argue for a new approach. Rather than "implementing fast and learning slow," they believe educators should adopt a more rigorous approach to improvement that allows the field to "learn fast to implement well."
Using ideas borrowed from improvement science, the authors show how a process of disciplined inquiry can be combined with the use of networks to identify, adapt, and successfully scale up promising interventions in education. Organized around six core principles, the book shows how "networked improvement communities" can bring together researchers and practitioners to accelerate learning in key areas of education. Examples include efforts to address the high rates of failure among students in community college remedial math courses and strategies for improving feedback to novice teachers.

WALL STREET JOURNALBESTSELLERA pioneering venture capitalist provides an actionable framework for founders and executives to create innovative, enduring companies built for growth and for societal good.

The old Silicon Valley tenets of "move fast and break things," minimum viable products, and hyper engagement at any cost must be replaced with new principles for an era of responsible innovation. We can no longer manage businesses solely for growth. With innovation comes responsibility: to generate returns beyond profits and to recenter technology as a force for good in the world. This requires a shift in the way organizations approach and value work.

The underdog story of Will Haskell, who became a Democratic state senator in 2018 at age 22 - taking on an incumbent who had been undefeated for Haskell's entire life and earning an endorsement from President Obama - and is determined to pave the way for his peers to transform government from the bottom up.
President Obama left office with these parting words for Americans: "If you're disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office yourself." Twenty-two-year-old Will Haskell decided to do just that. If he ran for office and won, he would become the youngest state senator in Connecticut history.
