Systems Change Advancing Learning and Equity, or the SCALE initiative is part of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning dedicated to transforming educational opportunity by leveraging knowledge for better education decision-making. SCALE conducts rigorous research, identifies, supports and scales promising solutions and engages decision makers to integrate research, policy, and practice across critical issues in K-12 education.
Motivation
A vast range of decision makers affect students’ access to educational opportunities.
Even the most promising approaches may not scale to reach students who could benefit without effort to understand the needs and opportunities across contexts and to engage stakeholders.
Mission
Transform student learning and equity at scale through collaborative research, supports for implementation, and engagement of decision makers across contexts
Approach
Research
Generate an evidence base about needs, opportunities and effects across contexts
Tool Development
Sustain implementation through research-based tools and strategic advising that make implementation easier and more effective
Engagement
Engage key decision makers to create opportunities to learn, to implement and to improve
