HOW DO WE ACCELERATE RESEARCH THAT SHOWS EVIDENCE OF POSITIVE OUTCOMES>
Education researchers engage in improving practice, but their findings are seldom shared beyond their school, district, or state (Zeichner, 2001). Thus, promising practices often are not implemented in new contexts or are implemented on a large scale without the necessary capacity to do so and without careful attention to the challenges of implementation (Bryk et al., 2015; Coburn & Stein, 2010)
