Final Results of the Future Forward Scale-Up Grant
Curtis Jones1
Grantee Submission
This report summarizes the final results of the Future Forward Education Innovation and Research (EIR) Scale-Up grant awarded to Education Analytics in 2021. Through this grant, the number of schools receiving Future Forward increased to 20, extending the program to a larger number of schools and students. However, the results suggest that Future Forward was unable to realize an impact with the increased number of schools. So, while Future Forward was scaled up, it was not scaled up to be effective. The results of the scale up grant suggest is that any future expansion of the program should be done more thoughtfully, with careful consideration for how to do it in a cost-effective way. The EIR Scale Up grant required Future Forward to be scaled up too quickly. Future scaling up efforts should be more measured about which schools to partner with, how to leverage local resources to staff programs, and identify other ways to reduce costs.
