Prototyping ideas for change

Prototyping involves creating some kind of artifact that can be used to test out an idea and get feedback on it. In the context of education, this could be a new classroom routine, a monthly newsletter to better communicate with families, or a process for responding to absent students. This video, part of a series of professional learning modules on continuous improvement methods developed by REL West, starts with the concept of a “change idea” and goes on to explain how prototyping works.
