State Implementation & Scaling-up of Evidence-based Practices (SISEP)  Current methods for encouraging the use of evidence-based programs and other innovations in education are insufficient  Islands of excellence  Implementation science and best practices are universal and apply equally well in education  A sea of change 6

Evidence-base Actual Supports Years 1-3 Outcomes Years 4-5 Every Teacher Trained Fewer than 50% of the teachers received some training Fewer than 10% of the schools used the CSR as intended Every Teacher Continually Supported Fewer than 25% of those teachers received support Vast majority of students did not benefit Aladjem & Borman, 2006; Vernez, Karam, Mariano, & DeMartini, 2006 Longitudinal Studies of a Variety of Comprehensive School Reforms Implementation Science 7

Formula for Success Effective intervention X Effective implementation = Effective outcomes X 8
