Description: "This book focuses on the challenge of integrating technology as part of larger school improvement efforts. If offers valuable insights that will help those trying to scale up any form of improved educational policy or practice." "Drawing from the information presented at a conference sponsored by the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Technology in Education Consortium, leading educators, researchers, and policymakers, Scaling Up Success translates theory into practice and provides a hands-on resource that clearly describes different models for "scaling up" success. This important resource is filled with illustrative examples of best practices that are grounded in real-life case studies of technology-based educational innovation." "Scaling Up Success offers a much-needed resource for educators, policymakers and leaders who must comply with the mandate to enact research-based practice and will serve as a guide to benefit present and future efforts to strengthening American education."--Jacket.
