Scale-Up in Education, Volume 1: Ideas in Principle examines the
challenges of 'scaling up' from a multidisciplinary perspective. It
brings together contributions from disciplines that routinely take
promising innovations to scale, including medicine, business,
engineering, computing, and education. Together the contributors
explore appropriate methods for estimating the effects of innovations
in larger, more diverse settings and provide theories and models to
guide the design of innovations most likely to remain viable at large
scales. Specially-commissioned commentaries also discuss the
analytical requirements and theoretical possibilities of a program of
educational research on scale-up built upon these foundations. This
volume is ideally suited for researchers, policymakers, and graduate
students charged with determining the effectiveness of educational
interventions. With its insights into the conceptual and
methodological prerequisites for obtaining rigorous, actionable
evidence of intervention effects, the volume provides reading for
program evaluation courses in schools of education and public policy.
