The National Implementation Research Network (NIRN), in partnership with the Kentucky Department of Education, was recognized with the Spotlight on Quality in Continuous Improvement in 2018 for their work with educators at the school, district, regional, and state levels to marry implementation and improvement science. In support of the state’s goal to dramatically improve mathematics achievement by strengthening the use of innovative, evidence-based mathematics practices, the partnership created a learning system where practice informs policy, and policy enhances sustainable practice.

The Carnegie Foundation launched the Spotlight on Quality in Continuous Improvement program in 2017 to elevate clear and compelling examples of how the rigorous application of improvement principles, methods, processes, and tools solve educational problems. Each honoree has demonstrated quality in the enactment of improvement principles, methods, and tools applied to significant problems in education or to transform their educational systems or organizations.
