Scale-Up in Education, Volume I, and the discussion it is sure to start, could not have come at a better time. With the growing emphasis on scientifically rigorous methods to learn what works in education, education researchers, policymakers, and practitioners must begin to consider what impacts may occur in moving from smaller scale studies to larger contexts and more diverse populations of students, teachers, schools, and communities. This volume pulls together a range of approaches from a variety of disciplines to help us think about theoretical and practical issues involved in 'scaling up.' All 14 chapters deserve thoughtful consideration.

- David Myers, Mathematica Policy Research, Inc.,

Scale-Up in Education, Volume 1: Ideas in Principle examines the challenges of "scaling up" from a multidisciplinary perspective. It brings together contributions from disciplines that routinely take promising innovations to scale, including medicine, business, engineering, computing, and education. Together the contributors explore appropriate methods for estimating the effects of innovations in larger, more diverse settings and provide theories and models to guide the design of innovations most likely to remain viable at large scales. Specially-commissioned commentaries also discuss the analytical requirements and theoretical possibilities of a program of educational research on scale-up built upon these foundations. This volume is ideally suited for researchers, policymakers, and graduate students charged with determining the effectiveness of educational interventions. With its insights into the conceptual and methodological prerequisites for obtaining rigorous, actionable evidence of intervention effects, the volume provides reading for program evaluation courses in schools of education and public policy.
