Methodology

Implement for Impact (I4I) is a free online tool that helps educators and district leaders explore research-based educational interventions and understand what it takes to implement them successfully. Our goal is to make it easier for you to choose interventions that fit your needs and budget.

How We Source Intervention Information

We identify interventions through academic studies that evaluate their effectiveness. All studies currently come from the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC), a federal database that applies rigorous quality standards to ensure findings are credible. As we expand, we’ll continue to include only studies that meet strong evidence criteria.

How We Summarize Research

To make research easier to navigate, we use AI to summarize key details about each intervention from academic studies. Each intervention page links directly to the original research so you can review the full, original source.

How We Estimate Resources and Costs

Starting in early 2026, we will list the resources required to replicate interventions as they were implemented in the studies and estimate costs based on 2026 prices. Our estimates account for the quantity of each resource and the duration of the intervention.

Project Phases

Phase 1 (Late 2024): Alpha release with high-level summaries for a small number of interventions.

Phase 2 (Early 2025): Expanded the number of interventions, continuing to provide summary-level information.

Phase 3 (Early 2026): Major update introducing a customizable price book for each intervention, allowing you to estimate costs for your specific context.
