6 of 86

Theories of Change / Design Principles

Collaborate with good partners.
Recognize that many in education engage in leadership.
A sense of personal agency gives one power.
Learning is motivated by work on one’s own problems or interests.
Accelerate learning with practical, real-world applications.
Give sufficient time for improvement to happen.
In CI a solution opens the way to the next problem.
Equity is the journey; Equality is the goal (Howard, 2022).

Collaborate with good partners. (Cut to next slide then come back)
Recognize that many in education engage in leadership. NorCal is set up to reduce hierarchical roles as many contribute to school improvements -- admins, teachers, staff.
A sense of personal agency gives one power. We want to encourage collaboration and contribution rather than an attitude of it’s someone else’s responsibility.
Learning is motivated by work on one’s own problems or interests. (Self-evident.)
Accelerate learning with practical, real-world applications.
Give sufficient time for improvement to happen.
In CI a solution opens the way to the next problem. Conditions and students constantly change
Equity is the journey; Equality is the goal (Howard, 2022). I have found this from Dr. Howard to be very useful - Kotar. Equity are the supports, attitudes, practices applied to make moves toward equality.
