Abstract
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, K12 schools largely remained rooted in hierarchical modes of operation, in-person and high-touch learning models, and cultures of learning that largely met those in the middle and mainstream, keeping systems oriented to the status quo. However, the signs of a burgeoning crisis in American schools were evident, as Sarah found through her graduate studies at U-Wisconsin, where the school of education long knew that a teacher shortage was beginning to create problems for staffing in rural parts of the state. Indeed, teacher education programs with once highly competitive admissions were struggling to find applicants. Informed by work of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Hewitt is committed to the plan/do/study/act model of improvement science to ensure that Hewitt evolves in both practice and culture from the mindset of educational institution to that of a learning organism.
