| Abstract: |
"Implementation in education" refers to active and planned efforts to introduce and sustain an approach in schools. It involves making, and acting on, evidence-informed decisions. There is substantial evidence indicating that quality implementation amplifies the effectiveness of a range of school-based approaches. However, implementation in schools is complex and there is a need to know more about how to do implementation in schools well. It is important to understand how new approaches can be selected and put in place in school settings to improve outcomes for all pupils, including those from more disadvantaged backgrounds. There have been few reviews of research to date that take a holistic view of implementation across multiple intervention and school types. The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) commissioned this evidence review to underpin an update to its guidance report, "Putting Evidence to Work: A School's Guide to Implementation." The evidence review aims to address two overarching questions: (1) How should school leaders and teachers understand implementation and how should they implement evidence-informed approaches in their context to have the best chance of improving all pupils' outcomes? (2) What is the relationship between content ("what") and process ("how") within school implementation? To address these two questions the evidence review is organised into four inter-related "work packages." |
