Teaching innovations hardly spread. Even the adoption of research based teaching innovations is dismal. Reasons for this certainly are multi-faceted, including teachers' and students' attitudes and beliefs and systemic issues.
From a Decoding perspective the adoption of teaching innovations canbe viewed as a bottleneck where many faculty gets stuck. Successful implementors of teaching innovations can be considered to exert some sort of expertise which enables them to overcome the bottleneck related to adopting teaching innovations.
