Why borrowing from the ‘best’ school systems sounds good — but isn’t

An alternative approach that we propose has four components:

• Take effective design principles rather than entire policies, and develop new approaches based on these.
• Develop such approaches in context by drawing heavily upon the good and effective practice that already resides within the system. 
• Put in place high-quality implementation processes so that the impact of any new approach will be maximized. 
• Invest in continued adaptation and refinement of any new initiative or intervention to ensure a close cultural and contextual fit.
