System Change
“Education has a thousand pilots and no central heating system”
Tom Luce, National Math and Science Initiative
Scaling Up
EBPs currently are used where they are most wanted (boutique uses)
Social impact will come from going where they are most needed
Accessible to ALL students and families who could benefit
Common usage = work with the willing and the reluctant
Scaling Up
Scaling up is achieved when at least 60% of the students/ schools that could benefit from an innovation have full and effective access to that innovation

Capacity Development
To scale up interventions we must first scale up implementation capacity
Building implementation capacity is essential to maximizing the use of EBPs and other innovations
Large scale, real time changeGlennan, Bodilly, Galegher, & Kerr (2004)
Selection Criteria
The State has documented implementation of an evidence-based curriculum/instruction initiative or a behavior support program.
The State has demonstrated committed leadership at the State level.
The State is willing to dedicate roughly $2 million a year to scaling up evidence-based practices.

Selection Criteria
The State is willing to participate in and contribute to a community of practice.
The State has a statewide data collection system in place.
Scaling Up Start with the end in mind
What will it take to:
Make statewide use of education innovations…
That produce increasingly effective outcomes…
For the next 50 years?

System Change
Innovative practices do not fare well in existing organizational structures and systems
Organizational and system changes are essential to successful use of innovations
Expect it, Plan for it
Cannot change a whole system at once
Transformation Zone
Use Innovations
Develop Implementation Infrastructure
Change System
Transformation Zone A “vertical slice” of the education system
(from the classroom to the Capitol)
The “slice” is large enough (critical mass) to include all aspects of the system
» Develop capacity to change systems
The “slice” is small enough to be manageable
» Manage the change process (small bites)
» Manage the risks (most innovations don’t work at first)
» Limit the damage (quick recovery, rapid resolution)

For More Information
The OSEP-funded National Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavior and Intervention Supports was established to address the behavioral and discipline systems needed for successful learning and social development of students. The Center provides capacity-building information and technical support about behavioral systems to assist states and districts in the design of effective schools.
