66.080-7 - Implementation: Insights From the National Center on Scaling Up Effective Schools

Sun, April 19, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Hyatt, Floor: East Tower - Purple Level, Riverside West

Session Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

The papers in this symposium come from a national research and development center focused on scaling up practices of effective high schools through a multi-institutional partnership of school districts, researchers and curriculum designers. These partner institutions have designed and implemented two innovations using a continuous improvement and implementation model. The papers reflect the innovative work of the center and highlight different aspects of our work. They focus on: continuous improvement research; a theoretical model of school-based design and implementation; the concept of principled adaptation by which the innovation design is modified to meet variations in school context; sense-making of co-created reform versus top-down reforms; and initial implementation measures as reported by district collaborators involved in design and implementation efforts.
