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.

This rubric outlines a set of capabilities to do with the evidence-based practice of explicit instruction.

Examples of practice demonstrate effective practice in different education settings. You can use them to think about how to apply the practice in your own context.
