The Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle is at the heart of successful implementation of Literacy Plan action steps in order to achieve your overall literacy goals for your students. You will engage in four PDSA sessions throughout the year with your site literacy teams to refine a change idea that addresses the problem of practice identified in your Literacy Plan. 

During these collaborative sessions teams will identify and plan for a change idea and how to measure its impact, implement the change and collect data, analyze the results, and decide whether to adopt, adapt, or abandon the idea based on your findings and learnings.

By actively engaging in this iterative PDSA process and collaborative planning, you and your site literacy teams will develop the skills to effectively implement change and make data-driven decisions to support student literacy growth in your system.
