58.026 - Longitudinal Evaluation of a Scale-Up Model: Critical Components and Effects on Persistence and Sustainability

Sun, April 30, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 210 A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Although some research-based educational practices show promise, many fail to be implemented at scales that affect more than a small proportion of children. Evaluations of those that are successfully scaled generally do not identify the critical components of the intervention. Further, they do not investigate the long term impacts of the interventions, including sustainability (of implementation), persistence (of effects for children, especially for equity-based interventions given the “fadeout” issue), and diffusion (of the innovation). Here we evaluated the long-term impacts of a model for scaling up early interventions, testing to see whether the originally-sustained impacts on teachers (sustainability) and children (persistence) remained 4-6 years beyond the intervention’s end, and identifying the critical components that may account for such impacts.
