Toolkit

Welcome to the Public Health Learning Agenda for Systems Change (LASC) Toolkit 2.0!

The LASC Toolkit 2.0 is an action-oriented, evidence-informed, field-tested process for organizations (as well as their partners and communities) to use transformative learning as a driver for systems change. The Toolkit 2.0 is designed to support public health professionals as they address complex challenges and profound health disparities caused by longstanding injustices perpetuated by structures of decision-making, resource distribution, and other policies and practices.

Traditional workforce development approaches are thoughtful and important; but they are often insufficient to adequately support the workforce in addressing these challenges. Transformative learning is required to shift thought, action, and impact in collaborative, community-centered, sustainable ways.

Current state: Challenge, leads to Learning: the transition state, which leads to the Future State: Vision of Systems Change
The LASC Toolkit 2.0 features a five-phase framework and associated resources to help teams and their partners – regardless of current readiness level – develop learning strategies to move from the current state to a future state and vision. The Toolkit 2.0 provides the rationale, process, and tools to help teams create their own Learning Agenda for Systems Change.

There are three elements to the LASC Toolkit 2.0: 

  • Section 1 includes a description of the foundational concepts behind the LASC, an overview of the LASC Framework, and tips on how to use the LASC process
  • Section 2 is a practical guide for completing the five phases of developing a Learning Agenda 
  • Section 3 includes a worksheet (template + completed sample), resources, and references

The tools in this Toolkit can help organizations and communities be more intentional with their learning to get to the change they envision.


We hope this Learning Agenda Toolkit will be used by practice partners, including public health departments, organizations, workforce development specialists, and associations that champion national workforce strategies, to achieve their goals.
