For education professionals
Build a portfolio: a focused problem, a small test of change, and a clear next step.
A self-paced masterclass for education professionals. Practice with a fictional case or your own challenge.
Course price: AED 1,500 / USD 410

A PREVIEW OF THE PRACTICE
Work through a complete example, make your reasoning visible, and use model responses to review your work.
Fictional teaching example. All counts, predictions, and results below are invented for practice.
Across three independent-work lessons, 45 of 90 observed student opportunities began the task within two minutes (50%). Investigate instructions, materials, and learners’ experiences before choosing a response.
Try a visible first-step prompt with 10 learners. Predict 7 will start within two minutes. In the simulated result, 8 start and 2 ask for clarification. Adapt the wording and test again under another lesson condition.
Example of prepared feedback
“Your measure and prediction are clear. One small test cannot show that the prompt caused improvement. Explain what you learned, what remains uncertain, and why your next test follows.”
Your portfolio connects: problem and evidence → possible system contributors → prediction and measures → results and interpretation → justified next test.

FROM INQUIRY TO ACTION
01 · UNDERSTAND
Listen to users, examine variation, and investigate the system shaping everyday experiences.
You build: a focused problem statement and measurable aim.
02 · TEST
Connect a change idea with practical measures. Work through a complete simulated Plan–Do–Study–Act cycle.
You build: a test plan, prediction, and interpretation of results.
03 · LEARN
Compare evidence with your prediction, reflect on feedback, and explain your next step.
You build: a summary of PDSA learning and reasoned next-test plan.
FOR EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS
Address a classroom problem of practice by learning from students, examining the routine, and planning a small test of change.
Investigate the system behind a problem of practice. Connect a theory of practice improvement with practical measurement.
Use evidence to communicate learning, support collaborative inquiry, and plan how to test a change in another setting.
No prior improvement-science training is required. Start with curiosity about a manageable problem and a willingness to learn.
THE LEARNING JOURNEY
Listen to users and frame a measurable aim.
What you’ll develop: A focused problem statement and improvement aim
Compare experiences across people, occasions, and conditions.
What you’ll develop: A comparison of variation in performance
Map a process and examine the conditions contributing to the problem.
What you’ll develop: A process map and analysis of contributing factors
Define outcome, process, and balancing measures. Interpret evidence over time.
What you’ll develop: A practical measurement plan
Predict, test, study, and decide through a complete simulated PDSA cycle.
What you’ll develop: A completed PDSA cycle record
Communicate learning, respond to supplied critique, and plan a test in another setting.
What you’ll develop: A summary of PDSA learning for networked improvement
Begin with a short orientation. Bring your evidence together in a final review. Plan approximately 12–18 hours for the independent core; the estimate will be refined through piloting.

TWO WAYS TO PRACTICE
Practice with clearly labeled simulated evidence. Work independently, without needing access to a school or live field data.
A useful starting point when you want to focus on learning the methods.
Investigate a manageable routine. Pause between modules, gather appropriate evidence, reflect, and return.
Optional fieldwork adds time beyond the core course estimate.
Both routes use fresh-scenario checks and the same portfolio criteria. Study at your own pace, with models and prepared feedback to support reflection.

MAKE YOUR LEARNING VISIBLE
CHECKPOINT 01 · AFTER MODULE 3
Bring together your explanation of the principles, problem statement and aim statement, variation in performance, process map, and fishbone diagram.
CHECKPOINT 02 · AFTER MODULE 5
Connect your driver diagram and measures to a full PDSA cycle, including implementation, Study, and Act.
CHECKPOINT 03 · FINAL REVIEW
After Module 6, communicate learning, respond to supplied critique, and justify your next test.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
No. It is designed for education professionals, including educators, practitioners, administrators, school leaders, system leaders, and improvement teams.
No. The prepared fictional case supports independent practice. Optional field application lets you use a professional challenge when suitable evidence and access are available.
The core course is asynchronous and self-paced. Plan approximately 12-18 hours, with additional time for optional fieldwork.
No certificate or accredited award is offered initially. The main output is an improvement portfolio and a reasoned next-test plan.
Prepared feedback, models, and supplied critique support independent completion. Community participation is optional. Moderation and human-response arrangements will be confirmed before enrollment opens.
The course price is AED 1,500 / USD 410. Enrollment is not yet open. Opening dates and final purchase and refund terms will be announced before enrollment opens. Join the waitlist free, with no purchase required.
