Continuous Improvement

Continuous Improvement

“My heart brims over with a desire to help make all the children born upon this earth fine human beings, happy people, people of superior ability.  My whole life and energies [are] devoted to this end.  This is because of my discovery that every child, without exception, is born with this possibility.” – Shinichi Suzuki

Change Agency and Consultation 

According to the dictionary, a change agent is someone who "alters human capability or organizational systems to achieve a higher degree of output or self-actualization." Evidence that our school creates a culture and atmosphere that fosters “change agency” is reflected in the culture of distributed leadership and number of successful research-informed initiatives that have been infused into our program to support student learning success.  We are an organization that continues to celebrate our current successes and at the same time consistently evolving the future vision with student success at its heart.  We are driven with a passion for continuous improvement and clearly articulate plans to achieve measurable goals.  We energetically strive to inspire this passion in others and encourage distributed leadership opportunities throughout the organization through embedding time to meet, sharing ideas and actioning plans.  Change agency at Suzuki is all about building capacity from within and supporting implementation with resources, time and aligned shared understanding.
