Potvin, Ashley Seidel; Miller, Emily Adah; Kuck, Rachel; Berland, Leema Kuhn; Boardman, Alison G.; Kavanagh, Sarah Schneider; Clark, Tiffany Lee; Cheng, Britte Haugan – Education Sciences, 2022
This paper explores enabling conditions for scaling high-quality project-based learning (PBL) to understand factors that influence how PBL spreads, whether and how it can be sustained and the extent to which it informs meaningful change in schools. We report on a year-long collaboration across three research projects. Each project team analyzed…

Tyler, Burr; Britton, Ted – WestEd, 2018
The K-8 Early Implementers Initiative has found that careful planning is critical. With thin planning, unexpected detours or dead ends are likely. However, with solid planning, districts are more likely to achieve their implementation goals and may discover some express lanes for their implementation journey. This evaluation report documents…

Boyle, Justin D.; Svihla, Vanessa; Tyson, Kersti; Bowers, Hannah; Buntjer, Jennifer; Garcia-Olp, Michelle; Kvam, Nicholas; Sample, Stephanie – Teacher Education and Practice, 2013
There are many barriers to the implementation of new practice standards. To implement practices that both prepare and inspire their students, preservice teachers need opportunities to enact reform practices: to prepare and be inspired themselves. These opportunities are found in students' content courses, methods courses, and field placements. In…
