8. Transitioning Curriculum Scaling up will be a refining process Field will inform practice Shift from print-based to digital platform More responsive to the field Input might include structured data and unstructured artifacts

12. Dimensions of Scale Five dimensions reflect necessary aspects to ensure effectiveness across contexts Depth - produces deep changes in practice, need to understand and enhance effectiveness, through continual evaluation Sustainability - maintaining changes over time, adapting to contexts Spread - multiple users, modifications retain effectiveness Shift - ownership shifts to users, become co-evaluators, co-designers and co-scalers Evolution -innovation is revised by adapter- continually rethink the model

13. Sources of Leverage Each dimension evolves the intervention to increase power, durability, applicability and flexibility Evaluation and Research - search for factors that influence success; including conditions, sensitivity , consistency and mesh with contexts Robust Design – examine modifications, necessary conditions and support required for full effectiveness in variety of contexts Reducing Resources and Expertise -how can effectiveness be retained with fewer resources or expertise “light” version - doesn’t have to be perfect to get desired results Moving Beyond Brand - build capacity to form a community of practice that can move the innovation beyond original intention (co-eval, co-design, co-scale) Rethinking the Model - facilitating reconceptualization in a community of reflective redesign – start process over

14. Traps to Avoid Developers must overcome these cognitive and affective traps Trap of Perfection - acceptance of imperfection rather than expending resources seeking unattainable. “Apple pie does not have to be perfect to taste just fine” “The great should not be the enemy of the good. Trap of Mutation – ensure adaptations do not undercut core conditions for success Trap of Optimality – less powerful innovation that reaches a greater number is a step forward. “Doesn’t matter if it is baby steps or giant steps as long as all are going in the right direction” Trap of Origination - don’t control - allow adaptations and innovation by users Trap of Unlearning -Keep an open mind- must have a fresh outlook to allow genuine evolution

15. Remember People don’t resist change They resist being changed. We only support what we help create.

17. For School Based Leaders? For Teachers? For Schools? What does this mean? For Students?
