for Success
What does it take to drive systemic, sustained change?
We’ve learned through work with pioneering educators and organizations that sustaining new approaches to teaching and learning requires coherent, system-wide shifts in strategy and practice. There is no single correct pathway nor timeline for building readiness or action given the different contexts that exist across a school system.
However, there are common implementation conditions that support planning, adoption, and scaling of innovative initiatives. The right conditions can accelerate progress, helping new approaches take flight. Unsupportive conditions will hinder efforts and waste energy.
Conditions that Set Up Educators and Students for Success
Around a core vision for powerful student-centered practices, school and district leaders must establish three sets of conditions that allow them to put design into action:Essential Supports that allow educators to effectively and equitably implement the design and practices for all students.
Enabling Systems and Structures that lower barriers for implementation and accelerate uptake and learning at greater scale and consistency across classrooms and schools.
Ongoing Processes that help leaders align, innovate, and improve implementation at scale and over time.
Dive Deeper into the Implementation Framework
Download TLA’s Innovative Learning Implementation Framework, a whitepaper guide for leadership teams seeking to shift conditions to support success and scaling. Teams can use it to:
Develop shared language across critical system and school stakeholders
Assess current capacity and organize cross-departmental work ahead
Identify and communicate across these different actors the necessary conditions for change, including often overlooked non-instructional areas
Monitor and reflect on progress and sticking points
Identify Strategies for Change

TLA has developed a variety of resources and guidance for teams working to support and scale new initiatives.A framework for navigating competing tensions in “how” to lead and manage change initiatives.
A guide that shows how district leaders can make small and big changes to advance equitable, student-centered practices and conditions in their own context.
That helps educators, learners, families, and community members use data to inform, inspire, and instigate change.
