Improving "Go to Scale" Efforts Through Adaptive Integration: Lessons From Carnegie's Networked Improvement Communities

Mon, April 11, 10:00 to 11:30am, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 146 A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Many educational interventions that show promise during a “pilot” phase demonstrate limited efficacy at scale (Elmore, 1996). Interventions designed, tested, and implemented in the pilot context often do not align with a new and different system. Consequently, mechanisms are needed for managing the micro-implementation of interventions aimed at macro-impact (Milbrey Wallin McLaughlin, 1987; Milbrey W. McLaughlin & Mitra, 2001). The papers in this symposium develop the concept of adaptive integration as a social process for learning how to maintain the integrity of an intervention across diverse contexts (Bryk, Gomez, Grunow, & LeMahieu, 2015). Two well-established networked improvement communities launched by the Carnegie Foundation serve as case studies: the Community College Pathways (CCP) and the Building Teaching Effectiveness Network (BTEN).
