This book presents original works by a new generation of scholars contributing to education policy implementation research. Contributors define education policy implementation as the product of the interaction among particular policies, people and places. Their analyses of previous generations of implementation research reveal that contemporary findings not only build directly on lessons learned from the past but also seek to deepen past findings. They argue that researchers and practitioners can help improve education policy implementation by focusing their attention on what works, for whom where, when and why.
