In education, there is no shortage of extraordinary teaching, innovative programs, and successful schools. The big challenge lies in spreading these "best practices" beyond the local scene—in "scaling up" success. Technology has the potential to influence a broad spectrum of educators and students beyond the walls of an individual classroom, but its role in seeding larger change has not been well documented up to now. This book focuses on the challenge of integrating technology as part of larger school improvement efforts. It offers valuable insights that will help those trying to scale up any form of improved educational policy or practice. Drawing from the information presented at a conference sponsored by the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Technology in Education Consortium, leading educators, researchers, and policymakers, Scaling Up Success translates theory into practice and provides a hands-on resource that clearly describes different models for "scaling up" success. This important resource is filled with illustrative examples of best practices that are grounded in real-life case studies of technology-based educational innovation—from networking a failing school district in New Jersey to using computer visualization to teach scientific inquiry in Chicago. Scaling Up Success shows how the lessons learned from technology-based educational innovation can be applied to other school improvement efforts. The authors address key themes such as Coping with change Constituent support Building human capacity Effective decision making Scaling Up Success offers a much-needed resource for educators, policymakers, and leaders who must comply with the mandate to enact research-based practice and will serve as a guide to benefit present and future efforts to strengthening American education.

Scale-Up in Education, Volume 2: Issues in Practice explores the challenges of implementing and assessing educational interventions in varied classroom contexts. Included are reflections on the challenges of designing studies for improving the instructional core of schools, guidelines for establishing evidence of interventions' impacts across a wide range of settings, and an assessment of national efforts to bring reform to scale in high-poverty schools. This volume also includes findings and insights from several federally funded research projects charged with bringing conceptual and analytic rigor to studies of successful scale-up. All of the chapters address the challenges of conducting scientific research in schools and provide insights for obtaining the support of teachers and school administrators. The result is a highly readable volume ideally suited for educators interested in the issues that inform intervention research, researchers concerned with designing practical studies that are methodologically sound, and policymakers engaged in evidence-based school reform.

How can technology best be harnessed to help lift the world's poor out of poverty? This volume captures the individual and collective wisdom of influential thinkers, practitioners, and policymakers from all regions of the world. Gathered in August 2000 for an Aspen Institute conference, the group affirmed that dramatically reducing poverty is an achievable goal.
