De-implementation

When it comes to school initiatives, more isn’t always better.

Today’s educators are buried under old practices, new ideas, and recommended initiatives. Before you’re tempted to add just one more idea to the pile, take a step back–and an objective look–so that you and your teachers can decide which practices to keep, which to modify, and which to eliminate altogether. This guide provides:

• A research- and evidence-based framework for determining efficacy
• Practical steps for removing, reducing, or replacing ineffective practices
• Action steps, examples, and tips for beginning the work
• Templates for charting your school’s individual path to de-implementation
