In 2009, through the Intensive Partnerships for Effective Teaching initiative, we invested in three school districts: Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida; Memphis City Schools, Tennessee; and Pittsburgh Public Schools, Pennsylvania, and a group of charter management organizations (CMOs).
The three teachers who engaged in PDSA cycles were new to the process. However, they quickly discovered how useful PDSA cycles were for making changes and seeing improvement in the classroom.
