The Denver Public Schools (DPS) case study describes how the district is improving its instructional guidance system in math and science through policy initiatives, investments in ‘content capacity,’ and leveraging external resources to affect teacher workforce quality. The case draws on document review and extensive interviews of district administration to make explicit and then analyze the district theory of action, and it shows how SCALE is involved in the change process.
