The SRI evaluation's quality analysis showed positive impacts "occurred only for students in pathways that had been independently certified as achieving a level of implementation quality on seven important dimensions," which the report enumerates from outcomes-driven practice to distributed leadership.

"It is important to stress that the positive impacts on student outcomes from participating in Linked Learning pathways occurred only for students in pathways that had been independently certified as achieving a level of implementation quality on seven important dimensions: (1) student outcomes-driven practice; (2) a culture of high expectations, equity, and inclusion; (3) industry-themed program of study; (4) inquiry- and project-based learning and teaching; (5) work-based learning; (6) personalized student supports; and (7) distributed leadership and engaged community partners."
