Measuring Implementation in Schools: Innovation Configurations

Innovation Configurations describe an innovation or change in action. An Innovation Configuration (IC) Map is created to clarify what an innovation or change actually looks like along a continuum, from high-quality implementation to least desirable.

This update of the 1981 IC manual includes step-by-step instructions for developing a Map and insight into data collection and interpretation.
