Is your system implementing evidence-based programs or practices and still falling short of your student outcome goals? This session will delve into the critical enabling contexts that empower systems to drive impactful, equitable, and sustainable improvement efforts. Drawing on the robust research and frameworks of the National Implementation Research Network, this session will explore key contextual constructs such as Networks & Communication; Leadership, Monitoring & Feedback and more. Participants will examine implications for leaders for each of the elements to understand how they lead to the effective implementation of an evidence-based program or practice. The session will also consider how building the enabling context improves equitable outcomes for all students. By the end of this session, educators will be able to intervene with an enabling context in order to enhance the implementation of an evidence-based practice or program and ultimately student outcomes.
