“…Although the ERA set a new tone in education reform, gains in student outcomes in England were more evident after the adoption of these strategies than they were from the original ERA reforms (Stannard and Huxford, 2007).…”

“…Our theory of action says that nothing lasting will happen unless people develop new capaci-ties. At the same time, new capacities build motivation because they generate clarity, skills and success (Stannard and Huxford, 2007).…”

“…We have also been involved with international policy through organizations such as the OECD and the Open Society Institute. Our discussion of high potential strategies for large-scale reform draws heavily on our work evaluating the National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies in England from 1998 to 2002 (Earl et al, 2003;Stannard and Huxford, 2007) and on the reforms in Ontario from 2003 to the present (Levin, in press). …”

A B S T R A C TOur focus in this article is on the lessons learned about effective change from international experience with large-scale reform over the last 20 years. The central lesson now evident is that sustained improvement in student outcomes requires a sustained effort to change teaching and learning practices in thousands and thousands of classrooms, and this requires focused and sustained effort by all parts of the education system and its partners. Key components of this work include a small number of ambitious yet achievable goals, publicly stated; a positive stance with a focus on motivation; multi-level engagement with strong leadership and a 'guiding coalition'; emphasis on capacity building with a focus on results; keeping a focus on key strategies while also managing other interests and issues; effective use of resources; and constant and growing transparency including public and stakeholder communication and feedback. Although we believe the use of change knowledge is increasing internationally, future prospects remain mixed because the work is hard to do.

“…In England, another diagrammatic summary became similarly influential, the so-called 'searchlights' model that was used in the non-statutory Framework for Teaching in the National Literacy Strategy (Stannard and Huxford 2007). The four sources of 'knowledge' from the national curriculum (phonic, grammatical, context and graphic, including word recognition), were displayed at the four points of the compass around a circle that represents the text.…”

“…This is not because the government ignored or overlooked research evidence as it introduced the Numeracy and Literacy Strategies. It is certainly possible to defend the selection it made (Beard, 1999; Stannard and Huxford, 2007). But rather it is precisely because government appropriated to itself the task of selecting from that research base, determining how that evidence should be used, and then tried to adapt its starting point as evidence of ‘impact’ came back from the performance data.…”
