Explained: The key components of implementation

How do we bridge the gap between knowing and doing? Schools are increasingly aware that evidence-based teaching practices will improve students’ outcomes. But, of course, knowing about evidence-based approaches isn't enough. Schools need to know how to adopt these practices successfully to gain the improvements they want to see. The 'how' is just as important as the 'what'. In this article, we explore the concept of implementation and share the key implementation components we’re using with schools.
