Networked Improvement Community Opportunity

The Office of School Quality, in partnership with Westat’s Region 5 Comprehensive Center, offers the Networked Improvement Community (NIC) for Virginia school division leaders across the Commonwealth. The NIC is a platform and model designed to provide division leadership teams the opportunity to work together on a problem of practice utilizing resources grounded in evidence-based best practices in both implementation and improvement science. Division teams commit to a three-year professional development cycle of Learn-Apply-Reflect-Collaborate drawing from NIC support, resources and coaching. For additional information about joining the NIC community, please email osq@doe.virginia.gov.
