Description¶

The brief proposes knowledge sharing between education organizations as a mechanism for spreading evidence-based strategies: "One way to support the spread of evidence-based strategies is to facilitate knowledge sharing between education organizations" that have implementation experience and those seeking to use the strategies. The SEED Partnership Project is the article's working instance of this approach, pairing national non-profits with educational organizations. The strategy operates at the organizational level rather than the classroom level.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• An organization with experience developing and implementing the evidence-based strategy must be willing to share knowledge with a partner organization

Target Learners¶

• educators and the educational organizations that prepare and develop them

Target Learning Goals¶

• identifying and adapting evidence-based strategies for improving student outcomes

Claims¶

• The SEED Partnership Project developed three-year partnerships between national non-profits implementing evidence-based educator-preparation strategies and educational organizations seeking to apply lessons from that work [+W]

Related Strategies¶
