The purpose of the study was to investigate whether the districts that received ongoing training and coaching to use the Active Implementation Frameworks improved mathematics outcomes. The Active Implementation Frameworks represent five essential approaches for effective implementation of any evidence-based program or practice. One of the frameworks is a clearly defined and operationalized usable innovation, or any evidence-based practice that is easily measured for adherence to the program design. The subject of Kentucky's usable innovation is mathematics and use of the 8 mathematical teaching practices developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM, 2014). The evaluation focused on priority populations, specifically students with disabilities and Black students, and compared their outcomes to a carefully matched district that did not receive the same level of support.
