"Real change hinges on practitioners learning to interact with students and content in new ways. Therefore, developing a strategy requires not only a vision for the instructional core, but also a plan of action for professional learning and collaboration required for realizing this vision."
~ The Internal Coherence Framework, p. 118
"Improvement is a challenge of learning, not implementation. There is growing consensus among scholars that the success of any instructional intervention, improvement initiative, or policy is better understood as a challenge of teacher learning and organizational capacity building rather than a challenge of faithful implementation. Teachers can only implement instructional practices that they already know how to perform. Asking teachers to work with students and content in new ways to produce better outcomes in student performance requires learning.”
