Abstract	In October 2010, WestEd's Strategic Literacy Initiative (SLI) won an i3 "Validation" grant to scale up and validate the Reading Apprenticeship (RA) model in three core secondary content area classes: U.S. history, biology, and English language arts. SLI's proposal stated two goals. Goal 1: To transform academic literacy teaching and learning in high school subject areas so that students are able to achieve high standards. Goal 2: To build LEA capacity to disseminate, support, and sustain academic literacy improvement in high school subject areas within and beyond their regions. Goal 1 is being addressed through a longitudinal randomized control trial (RCT) conducted in approximately 40 schools in Pennsylvania and California. Goal 2, the focus of this paper, is being addressed through the Scale-up Study, a formative evaluation of the scale-up process. This five year study spans four states: Utah, Michigan, Indiana, and Pennsylvania (schools other than those participating in the RCT). During the grant period, four consecutive cohorts of teachers and schools have been invited to participate in the RAISE initiative. The purpose of this interim report is to provide formative feedback to the SLI team, site coordinators, and implementing schools, districts, and states regarding the scale-up process in the first year of implementation. Specifically, this report provides a brief review of the scale-up literature/research and the logic model guiding this evaluation; an overview of key RAISE project events in Year 1; RAISE participation at the teacher, school, district, and state levels from Year 1; and a subset of descriptive statistics from the Year 1 teacher and administrator surveys to assess the extent to which the project's goals are being recognized.
