View: http://www.crpe.org/cs/crpe/view/csr_pubs/13
By: Lake, Robin

Focus Area:  Governance & Management

Abstract:  This brief summarizes lessons learned from scale-up and replication efforts and discusses how these lessons should be applied to future efforts to replicate and expand existing charter school models. Recommendations include: (1) make sure you are replicating a model that can be copied and is worth copying; (2) observe the original model directly; (3) copy the original model as closely as you can; (4) adapt only after achieving acceptable results; and (5) keep the template in mind, even as you adapt.
