ABSTRACT
Transferring best practices to others requires much more than organizing teachers into teams and asking them to share with one another. The work of transferring tacit knowledge of best practices is the key to the knowledge transfer process. Experts in the field of knowledge transfer tell that best practices are those acts that successfully achieve a specific focus of the organization. In order to encourage the transfer of best practices, they provide mechanisms for teachers to ask one another for good ideas within the context of something that is timely in the classroom. Jack Grayson, one of the leading experts on knowledge transfer, encouraged leaders to create infrastructures that support the transfer of knowledge. Facilitated Transfer is perhaps the most direct and effective means of transfer by which identified people in the organization take the initiative to capture best practices and help staff implement them in the work setting.
