<p>In this unit, you will see what the Cycle of Launching Innovation looks like in a real school district, Mashpee Public Schools in Mashpee, Massachusetts. We will return to Mashpee later in the course to hear more from teachers and administrators.</p>
<p>Next, Justin Reich and Peter Senge will guide you through key leadership tools that will be helpful as you begin the process of launching change. </p>
<p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p>

<p>In this video, we talk to teachers and administrators of <a href="http://www.mashpee.k12.ma.us/" target="_blank">Mashpee Public Schools</a> in Mashpee, Massachusetts. This video shows how this district's experience with school change maps onto the <a href="/assets/courseware/v1/fe5073847bec0c7dcd603bd0ea41c6ca/asset-v1:MITx+11.154x+3T2018+type@asset+block/CycleofLaunchingInnovationHandout.pdf" target="_blank">Cycle of Launching Innovation</a> introduced by Justin and Peter: bringing people together around ideas they care about (3:00), refining a vision and getting to work (5:40), working together through ups and downs (8:27), and measuring progress and adjusting (9:55).</p>
<p>As you watch the video, keep the following questions in mind. </p>
<ul>
<li>Teacher Amanda Hough says: "Society is constantly changing... if you are not willing to morph and change in your curriculum, how are those students going to learn to change outside in the real world?" (2:47)<br /><strong>Q:</strong> If you're working in a school, has your current school been thoughtful about changing expectations for graduates in response to how society is changing? </li>
<li>Interim Superintendent Patty DeBoer says: "It's a slow shift sometimes for teachers to wear the hat of the student" (6:01).<br /><strong>Q:</strong> What are some barriers that you have come across when trying to understand the student perspective?</li>
<li>Principal Mark Balestracci notes the importance of two of our course themes, reflection and iteration, when he says:<strong> </strong>"We've been able to assess and refine our implementation over such a short period of time [by coming] back together to be able to reflect on the things that we've done" (10:52).<br /><strong>Q: </strong>How does your school or organization reflect? How often does your school or organization reflect?</li>
</ul>
<p>Note: In this video, Principal Balestracci mentions a belief survey that his staff took. You can find that survey <a href="https://d37djvu3ytnwxt.cloudfront.net/assets/courseware/v1/a5238da362660e4ec7ce3fe2af1fc6e3/asset-v1:MITx+11.154x+3T2017+type@asset+block/MTSS-Whole-Staff-Beliefs-Survey1874041095.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
