Logistical Scavenger Hunt of campus

All players hold up 5 fingers. When it is your turn, say a “never have I ever” statement related to education. If any of the players connect with your statement (they have done it) they put one finger down. If no one connects, you put a finger down.

Let’s see who has done it all!

Never Have I ever...

Use this JamBoard to post your questions and we will respond to them. You can go back to it as needed!

How can you be a Gooooal Getter?

What is Improvement Science?

• A problem solving approach rooted in the inquiry cycle
• A core principle of improvement science is that performance is a result of design and operation, not simply an individual’s effort!
• A primary tool of improvement science is a PDSA cycle: Plan, Do, Study, Act

What is Improvement Science?

The Model for Improvement

​

What are we trying to accomplish? (Goal)

​

How will we know when that change is an improvement? (Success Criteria)

​

​

What changes can we make that will result in improvements? (Strategy)

​

Why PDSA?

​

• Learning Engine
• Small Scale Tests of Theory
• Doing versus Debating

​

​

​

Building the Perfect Student Sam

​

​

I will help you explore these ideas with a fun exercise!

I will help you learn about PDSAs!

Three Essential Questions

​

​

• What are we trying to accomplish?
• Reconstruct Sam accurately and quickly
• How will we know our changes lead to improvement?
• We can (reliably) reconstruct Sam accurately and quickly
• What change(s) can we make that will result in improvement?
• Your changes will be based on your group’s theory of how to build Sam accurately and quickly.

​

​

​

• Evan, Kim, Sady, Miriam, Emily, Rocio F.
• Group 2

• Time Keeper: Has a device that can keep time to seconds.
• Quality Inspector: Will assign accuracy score and fill out PDSA tracker. ONLY PERSON WHO CAN LOOK AT PICTURE!!!

​

​

​

Here are your objectives for Sam

​

​

​

Overview of the Activity

​

​

​

​

• Part 1: Baseline Test (Collect baseline data on Test #1)
• Assign roles
• Record your prediction (accuracy & time)
• All tables run ONE test

​

​

• Part 2: Small group discussion to fill out the Do: observers notes, Study: Results, and Act: Reflections

​

• Part 3: Make a plan and all tables run Test # 2

​

• Part 4: Small group discussion to fill out the Do: observers notes, Study: Results, and Act: Reflections DID YOU IMPROVE?

​

• Part 5: Make a plan and all tables run Test # 3

​

• Part 6: Small group discussion to fill out the Do: observers notes, Study: Results, and Act: Reflections DID YOU IMPROVE?

​

Part 1: Let’s Try It!

​

​

​

​

• Reconstruct Sam as shown in the picture. *
• Start only after the time keeper says “Go!”
• Stop the timer only after a builder removes hands from all parts AND says “Done!
• ​

​

(When you hold up the picture next to him, they should be the same.)

Part 2: Small Group Discussion

• (Do section)What happened?
• Observer shares data collected during the test and provides suggestions and feedback.
• (Study section) Were the predictions accurate? Record your times.
• (Act Section) Based on your results what will you adopt, adapt, or abandon? Think about ideas you could try to reliably and quickly rebuild Sam.
