Design Based Implementation Research

Organizing the Design Process

To improve practice, teams commit to iterative, collaborative design.

  • The aim of design is to improve teaching and learning practice, at scale.
  • The objects of design are not only curricula and programs they also include the professional development and other supports needed to implement curricula and programs with integrity.
  • Design process should allow teams to “get things basically right fast” and/or “fail early and fail often.”
  • Design process should be participatory, involving as many stakeholder groups as is feasible.
