Prof. Jonathan Sharples, Jon Eaton, and Jamila Boughelaf introduce the new edition of our guidance report on effective implementation, and explain what’s changed, and what it means for you.
Since it was launched in 2018, our guidance report on effective implementation has become one of our most popular resources. By shining a light on the process of implementation, it helps schools think about change in a more structured and purposeful way.
Given the widespread interest in implementation and the fast-changing nature of research in this area, over the last three years we have worked with a team of researchers to conduct a major new review of evidence on ‘implementation in schools’. This has led to a substantial update to A School’s Guide to Implementation and a new edition of the report.
The updated guidance report provides a new way of conceptualising implementation, but one that builds on the messages in the existing report. If the focus of the previous guidance report was to ‘treat implementation as a process’, now we’re unpacking how to do that process well.
