Implementation+Science

=Implementation Science=

Similar to evidence-based interventions, the science and practice of implementation has a literature and experience base to support it. This is reassuring in that both parts of the formula for success are supported by research and analyses of best practices. The difference is that the science and best practices for effective implementation are very different from the science related to interventions in education and beyond.

SISEP's scaling work is based on implementation support frameworks established by the [|National Implementation Research Network (NIRN)].

NIRN conducted an extensive review of the implementation evaluation literature resulting in a meta-analysis of nearly 800 articles related to effective implementation practices in fields such as aging, agriculture, business, child welfare, education, engineering, health, information technology, juvenile justice, manufacturing, medicine, mental health, nursing, public health, social services, and substance abuse prevention and treatment.

Effective approaches to education can be used to promote improved teaching and learning. **For effective practices to be useful to all students, educators in every school and district need access to competent Implementation Teams who can provide effective implementation supports.** While this is a big job, it is no less daunting than assuring that every school and district has access to information technology expertise or financial management and accounting expertise. Financial and IT infrastructures are in place to support important functions within schools, districts, and states. Implementation science has advanced to the point where regional and district implementation infrastructures can be developed to support effective education practices in every classroom.
