This 12-week portion of the course is all about synthesis, reflection and sharing of the work of improvement. Students will finish the learning cycles (LCs) started in the previous 12 weeks and engage in the process of synthesizing their learnings to derive key findings. Students will share their learnings in three impactful ways: preparation of an academic journal article, creating of a useful product, and a demonstration of leadership to move the work forward. The prepared journal article will serve to share significant learnings with a broader educational community and fulfill the Master’s thesis requirement. The useful product will serve to provide a tool for others who are interested in taking up or engaging with the work, and the demonstration of leadership will bring new people into the work or move the work forward in a meaningful way.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

• How can the findings from our learning cycles be transformative for ourselves, our students and our communities?

• How can we share our theory of action and findings from our learning cycles by creating a range of products useful to both professional and academic audiences?
