This
work
is
of
interest
because
it
attempted
to
scale
up
teaching
reforms
at
a
statewide
level.
It
is
an
important
theoretical
question
how
widespread
specific
reform
practices
can
become.
The
effort
we
studied
sought
to
change
teaching
and
learning
not
just
in
leading
edge
schools,
for
example
as
highlighted
by
the
Alliance
for
Excellent
Education
(2011,
p.
4),
but
also
in
“in
high-‐poverty
schools…with
persistent
achievement
gaps”
(The
William
and
Flora
Hewlett
Foundation,
2010,
p.
7).
Our
findings
help
address
whether,
despite
some
findings
to
the
contrary
(Camburn
&
Won
Han,
2008),
reform
practices
can
be
effectively
used
with
all
students,
not
just
the
advantaged
(Boaler,
2002).
