Implementation science examines the process of how programs are put into action to produce outcomes and represents an emerging approach for analyzing the utilization of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in school settings. When EBPs are implemented effectively, they result in positive student outcomes. The "Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction" (SDLMI) is an EBP shown to promote positive educational and post-school outcomes for students with disabilities; however, the process of implementing the SDLMI on a large scale poses significant challenges. We describe efforts to implement the SDLMI state-wide with transition-aged students with intellectual and developmental disabilities through the lens of implementation science. Key factors and issues that need to be addressed in ongoing research and practice to further advance student outcomes are highlighted. [For the corresponding grantee submission, see ED585868.]
