Abstract
Thailand education reform in the first decade (1999-2009) seemed to be unsuccessful, partly because of the predominant use of
top-down policy delivery strategies. This report aims to develop new delivery strategies for education reform policy for
practitioners, especially teachers. Using concepts of assessment-based education reform and university-and-school collaboration,
the present study employed a formative research and development methodology to develop and examine policy delivery
strategies during 2011-2013. All strategies proposed here were the synthesized results from subprojects of the study. Findings
of the study lead to several policy recommendations. It is highly recommended for Thailand education reform to establish policy
delivery units. Results also suggest concepts and activities for empowering teachers. After using such strategies in the
participated schools, positive changes in practice of school teachers and students were noticeable.
