Abstract
This qualitative single case study explored the relationship between what was predicted and progress of states selected to participate with a national center, 10 months post state selection, to determine if use of the process developed by the national center for selecting state partners was predictive of state readiness to participate in schoolwide inclusive school reform, and to assess utility of the process for use by other national centers. The state selection process used by the national center extended current use of the Hexagon Tool's broad factors from assessing readiness to implement evidence-based practices/innovations to assessing state readiness for change. The methodology included use of structured interviews. This study contributes to the field by supporting utility of a selection process to assess state readiness to partner with a national center to implement schoolwide inclusive school reform.
