Abstract
The Singapore education system provides all schools with opportunities to innovate through educational interventions. Based on a review of research work in innovation diffusion in Singapore schools from 2013 to 2017, we have developed the SCAEL model- a context-sensitive translational and scaling framework that can translate theories to practices for sustained educational changes. SCAEL stands for 'scaling community, conditions, culture and carryovers through apprenticing and ecological leadership'. Apprenticing leadership and ecological leadership refer to leadership that facilitates professional learning and support at the peer-to-peer (apprenticing leadership) and vertical levels (ecological leadership). We use the SCAEL model to analyse recent Singapore-based education innovations that have attained substantive traction as well as recent reforms in the German education system. We also propose an iterative practical framework for school leaders for operationalising SCAEL.
