To help Achieving the Dream colleges work through the challenge of moving an intervention from small to large scale, Achieving the Dream asked Public Agenda to gather the best thinking about and promising practices for scaling interventions. To this end, Public Agenda conducted a multimethod study, consisting of a broad literature review, an online discussion and an in-person work group convening of diverse stakeholders, practitioners and experts in institutional transformation and higher education reform.
This guide offers recommendations and insights drawn from these sources and has been reviewed by work group participants and Achieving the Dream for content, accuracy and applicability to higher education broadly and Achieving the Dream community colleges specifically.
