Title: Working to Improve: Seven Approaches to Improvement Science in Education
Abstract/Description: This volume brings a comparative focus on seven improvement approaches that are now in increasing use in both USA and international education settings. We explore both the commonalities that exist among these different strategies and also highlight features that are distinctive to each. The seven approaches are:

1. Networked Improvement Communities;
2. Design-Based Implementation Research;
3. Deliverology;
4. Implementation Science;
5. Lean for Education;
6. Six Sigma; and
7. Positive Deviance.

Some of these have been around for a long time (e.g. Lean, Six Sigma), whereas others are either more recent addition to the scene (networked improvement, design-based implementation research and Deliverology) or just recently adapted for application in education (Positive Deviance and implementation science).; [Excerpted from p. 2 ]
