CPEB 251 - Innovating Change for Improvement (4 Cr.)


Ever feel like you are spinning your wheels but not making progress toward your goals?  Ever want to be part of a team coming up with innovative ideas that lead to meaningful change?  Methods in improvement science can guide us in developing more effective strategies for reaching personal and organizational goals. In this course, we will look at examples of how improvement science has been used to make positive changes in education and health care.   We will practice skills that can shift our frame of mind to one of systematic and innovative improvement rather than aimless efforts leading to stagnation.  As a class, we will apply these skills by developing and implementing change processes to reach a common aim on campus. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. T.Smith.
