Every teacher knows about barriers to learning and teaching that interfere with student progress and academic achievement. These barriers to learning can hamper a student's ability to participate effectively and benefit fully from classroom instruction and other educational activities. For school improvement efforts to succeed in ways that truly improve student achievement and student test scores, schools must provide students with learning supports in comprehensive, multifaceted, and cohesive ways. This innovative Implementation Guide to Student Learning Supports in the Classroom and Schoolwide by Howard Adelman and Linda Taylor is designed to accompany their new School Leader's Guide to Student Learning Supports. Together, these two handbooks comprise a complete and adaptable system for addressing barriers to learning and teaching. The authors offer specific ideas, procedures, resources, tools, and guides for motivating students, personalizing instruction and curriculum, promoting development, building school and community partnerships, and closing the gap between the learning supports students need and the learning supports they are currently receiving.

This paper aims to expand and improve strategies used by established companies for the implementation of new business models. Existing literature in this field is highly fragmented. Therefore it is difficult for practitioners and researchers to get an understanding. This research connected a comprehensive literature review with empirical insights from case studies to enhance the academic know-how in this field. This combination aimed to lead to a better understanding and should make the theory more applicable. Consequently, the goal was to facilitate business model implementation in order to be more often used by practitioners as innovation tool. The findings from the research disclosed that all analyzed companies used often the same core strategies in their transition process. These strategies were used implicitly and advanced the companies' implementation process significantly. The results identified parallels between the literature and the case studies, which permitted a more generalized explanation of the insights and supported the study's external validity.
