#ROCKiTMMSD + @MMSDschools Advanced Learning (AL) Dept teamed up to explore ways to improve programming at elem. The team collected data from immersion and interviews to discover areas to improve and test possible solutions. Stay tuned for a full case study soon! 🚀 #innovation

[Rockit Mmsd @ROCKiTMMSD]

Advanced Learning (AL) Dept leadership has been exploring ways to improve programming @ the elementary level to inform their five-year plan & strengthen the flow of useful, supportive info for their students.
ROCKiT is super excited to see where this work lands!

Our friends at the @standford https://t.co/eUY0klTKMX just released a book this past spring. #ROCKiTMMSD dug into this book and gave the Girl and the Chair tool a try to help us better define how to better solve a problem.

Bri is our incredibly patient, grounded & thoughtful practice partner + @MMSDschools Director of Institutional Research & Evaluation! We fortunate to work w/ her & @bethvaade

Loving her thoughts: finding critical & strategic areas to do work

[ITP WCER @ITP_WCER]

Stealing this slide and some truth 💣s from @BrianneCMonahan - researchers who want to do actionable work should learn and invest about the local context.

Also, local education agencies are complex ecosystems -- just embrace them with empathy and grace!

[Rockit Mmsd @ROCKiTMMSD]

Congratulations to Research & Innovation's very own @BrianneCMonahan for an amazing joint presentation titled "Engaging with Research from the Practice Side: What do we do well and what could we do even better" at the ITPalooza: Celebrating Education Research & Policy in ITP III
