Here's an aid to remembering the four steps of the Improvement Kata pattern: One C = Challenge Two C = Current Condition TC = next Target Condition Test = Experiment toward the target condition Say it this way: "One Cee - Two Cee - Tee Cee - Test!" youtube.com/watch?v=INMQHgrk…

Thanks to Karl & his team at @vibco_vibrators for their endless support of @CharihoRegional students. The @incubatoredu students were so impressed by the work culture & attention to detail they witnessed! Thanks again! – at Ashaway, RI
VIBCO hosted a special tour with the few student’s enrolled in the @incubatoredu taught by Chariho’s STEM specialist, @SusieScanRI. For those who don’t know, #IncubatorEDU is “A new wave of High school #Entrepreneurship curriculum program”, where students learn best by doing!

Educators: Just doing activities doesn't = students are learning. The value of activity depends on what the students are practicing when they engage in it. Add the Improvement Kata framework to an activity & it also becomes practice in scientific thinking. katatogrow.com

Karl was surprised & stoked to hear that Salve required each & every student to take the @CliftonStrengths Assessment to discover their individual top 5 strengths! This is a rarity & extremely refreshing to know Salve is dedicated to investing in their students! #BetterIsBetter

Students were gifted a copy of the #Lean book “Kaizen Forever”; a philosophy book that introduces lessons of Chihiro Nakao, who co-founded #ShingijutsuUSA in 1987 at the behest of Taiichi Ohno to teach the principles & practices of the @Toyota Production System to more leaders.
