Real-time Scaling Lab Guidelines: Implementing a participatory, adaptive learning approach to scaling

A Real-time Scaling Lab (RTSL) is a participatory action research approach to support scaling impact, developed by the Center for Universal Education (CUE) at Brookings in collaboration with local institutions around the world. The RTSL was developed for use in the education sector, although it can be adapted to support scaling processes in other sectors. This guidance is intended for practitioners, policymakers, funders, and researchers engaged in scaling and sustaining the impact of education or other social sector initiatives.
