Federal intent is conveyed to states and localities through a series of actions that include authorizing legislation, legislative history, formal legal framework, administrative decisions, and congressional oversight. program implementation, in turn, requires states and localities to modify organizational structures, processes, and behavior. Initially, a compliance-oriented federal strategy may be necessary. (Author/GC)

In a climate of assessment and accountability, school districts are constantly on the search for product solutions to the pressing issue of student reading performance, as assessed by annual state standardized accountability testing. In an attempt to increase student reading growth rates, some districts are turning to formative assessment systems, such as the formative online reading assessment Diagnostic Online Reading Assessment, or DORA (commercially available from Let's Go Learn, Inc.), in order to encourage more differentiated classroom instruction and as a growth monitoring tool for instruction. The implementation of DORA, while top-down in nature, is being done in collaboration with the product developers, whose professional development model utilizes a Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) framework, providing for extensive administrator support, modeling of usage, using a teacher cohort model, and allowing for teacher concerns to be address during the professional development cycle. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects in student reading growth of the teacher-level implementation decisions and in the top-down, district wide implementation of a formative online reading assessment, as part of district-wide measures to improve student reading performance, and subsequently, student reading test scores. Data was collected from a large, urban school district in Southern California, with a large minority population, many of whom speak English as a second language. Existing student DORA data was collected, while a survey was administered to teachers to collect teacher-level professional development implementation data. Student data and teacher data were analyzed using regression analysis and Hierarchical Linear Modeling to determine 1) the relationship between teacher-level professional development implementation decisions and the overall teacher use of DORA, and 2) the relationship between teacher-level professional development implementation decisi

Public schools in the United States are charged with meeting increasingly rigorous student accountability measures despite evidence indicating vast racial and socioeconomic disparities in student achievement across the country. To meet these standards, schools, particularly those serving high concentrations of at-risk student populations, are turning to research-based social emotional learning practices found to improve student achievement and other indicators related to student and school progress. Research to support schools with social emotional learning implementation, however, has lagged behind outcomes-based evaluations to establish program efficacy. The lack of social emotional learning program implementation support often results in poor social emotional learning program quality and fidelity of implementation at the school level. This study explores the social emotional learning implementation policies and practices at a high needs high school to determine the extent the program's implementation adhered to the identified model. The findings indicate the study school only partially implemented the evidence-based model identified due barriers similar to those cited in peer reviewed research and, therefore, the evidence-based program was not implemented as intended.

Implementing teen pregnancy prevention programs is a complex process affected by intervention, organization, community, and policy-level factors. Adolescent health programs implemented with fidelity to core components from highly trained facilitators in community or school environment can improve overall sexual health outcomes. Qualitative cross-case analysis is a valuable analytic technique used to systematically review diverse evidence types and can be used for theory-building or conceptual contributions to the literature. System Dynamics (SD) is a theoretical perspective and method used to understand feedback mechanisms and leverage points which influence system structure and behavior over time. The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate implementation practices among pregnancy prevention programs with adolescents in the United States integrating traditional and systems thinking research approaches. To do so, we conducted one scoping literature review on teen pregnancy prevention implementation practices, investigated the 2010–2014 Office of Adolescent Health (OAH) Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) program cohort grantees implementation practices using cross-case analysis strategies, and qualitatively modeled system dynamics and feedback mechanisms which influenced pregnancy prevention program implementation. The scoping literature review documented 23 studies investigating theoretical, procedural, and empirical evidence related to teen pregnancy prevention program implementation. The cross-case analysis used 29 case evaluation reports from the 2010–2014 OAH TPP program to evaluate theoretical frameworks, applied research measures, and contextual experiences which affected implementation among replication and innovative program models. The system dynamics model integrated existing and new evidence to deconstruct the endogenous factors and dominant feedback loops influencing teen pregnancy prevention program implementation. Results from the three studies, t
