Problem Identification

We begin with a challenging, high-priority problem of practice nominated by the district partner.

Shared Problem Framing

Problem framing—determining the sources of the problem and the possibilities for addressing them—leads to an agreed-upon approach to intervention.

Iterative Design Process

Prototypes are generated, tested, and revised. Classroom observations, feedback from users, and input from researchers inform revisions.
programs

Tools, Programs, Practices

When tools, programs, or practices emerge from the design process with promising evidence from piloting, they are then fully developed into resources that are ready for implementation.

Evaluation

When funding is available, SERP evaluates products on a larger scale using rigorous methodologies.

Scaling

Products are made available to all, along with online resources and learning opportunities to support scaling. Results are published, contributing to new knowledge.
