Abstract | This article presents a case study of successful curricular and instructional innovation in Thailand. The innovation involved a curricular program, Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This student-centered curriculum models many of the features highlighted in Thailand's educational reform such as the student-centered learning approach, curriculum integration, and involvement of the local community. The IPM curriculum was initially developed in 1995 by a single teacher. During the past 10 years, it has since been scaled up for broader dissemination. While the innovative curriculum has not yet reached a national scale of implementation, the process by which this innovation grew organically through networks of teachers in combination with external and institutional support represents a useful case of educational reform. The organic steps in the scaling up process of IPM implementation and the combination or interaction of bottom-up, outside-in, and top-down strategies that has supported successful implementation of the IPM curriculum are discussed.
