Abstract: This paper describes the process of taking a successful geospatial technology professional development program for secondary teachers to national scale. The scale up was achieved through a facilitation development model for facilitators of professional development for teachers. The process is explored through a framework for scaling innovations. Formative, partial results and implications are presented.
