A Roadmap to Successful Implementation

Successful implementation is complex work. Planning requires an understanding of the characteristics of successful implementation; coherence among plans and priorities; and the intentional efforts by education stakeholders to collaboratively address the essential conditions.

This approach to implementation planning is not prescriptive. Instead, it offers guiding questions to support implementation planning that intentionally addresses seven essential conditions.

Successful implementation is possible when education stakeholders share responsibility in a culture of learning to address the seven essential conditions – shared vision, leadership, research and evidence, resources, teacher professional growth, time and community engagement.
