Maximizing Your Session Participation

Work with your team

Consider 4 questions:

- What Implementation Phase? - What do I hope to learn? - What did I learn? - What will I do with what I learned?

Where are you in implementation process?

Adapted from Fixsen & Blase, 2005

Stages of ImplementationFocusFocus StageStage DescriptionDescription

Exploration/Adoption

Decision regarding commitment to adopting the program/practices and supporting successful implementation.

Installation Set up infrastructure so that successful implementation can take place and be supported. Establish team and data systems, conduct audit, develop plan.

Initial Implementation

Try out the practices, work out details, learn and improve before expanding to other contexts.

Elaboration Expand the program/practices to other locations, individuals, times- adjust from learning in initial implementation.

Continuous Improvement/Regeneration

Make it easier, more efficient. Embed within current practices.

Goals for Today

• Introduction to the Training Blueprint and Implementation Guidebook

• Using the WIKI to Support Training and TA

Take Away

• Awareness of existing resources– Implementers Blueprint, Evaluation Blueprint,– PD Blueprint and the “Companion Workbook”

• Use of tools to organize the content/ products • Build Communities of Practice across the

Cascade • National Community of Practice through APBS

training network

“Recipe” Occurs Across the Cascade

• Data Review• ID need/change (structure or practice?)• Install Systems to support Practice/Innovation• Embed within PD and anchor with a

measurable outcome in mind• Simplest delivery method to share content• Provide Coach• Check for change

How do Trainers/Faciliators Benefit from Using a WIKI?

• Levels of skill development • Scope and Sequence-

• Organized around Phases of Implementation

• Anchored the training to BOQ, CICO Checklist and BAT– Delivered in same format– Use of flash drive/wiki to build action

plan/products during training

Designing Systems-we should have our WIP of the POI on our wiki by this if you

want to share

• Stages of Implementation• Evaluation Cycle• Training and Coaching• Reports and Marketing• Policy

Exploration Phase

Need for change identified, possible solutions are explored, learning about what it takes to implement the innovation effectively, stakeholders are identified and developed, and decision is made to move forward

Guiding Questions

Facilitated Exploration Activities

Outcomes

Professional Development/ Technical Assistance

Resource Mapping

• Taking Inventory

• Linking to Outcome/Strategic Plan

• How do we support adults?

• How do we make sure we invest in what works with our students/youth?

• What data will help keep us on track?

Resource Mapping• What are the practices in place at each tier of

the triangle?• Are they evidence-based practices?• How are you measuring effectiveness of

practices (data)? • Who are the service delivery teams/personnel

(e.g., graduation coach, PALS teacher, Math Coach)

28

District Example

• Anne Arundel County Resource Map• Took Inventory

– How many Initiatives/Practices/Programs were in place to support student success?

– Asked for Data– Linked to Budget– Got Buy in from School Admin

• If you aren’t getting the outcomes, why should we still invest?

29

Quick Review

• Download Blueprints• Guidebook also available• Uses Stages of Implementation• Companion Workbook- WIKI form• Helpful for getting started and sustaining over

the next decade

WIKI Workspace

Performance Feedback in the Classroom: Building Systems to Support Best Practices

in the Classroom• How will staff get skills?• How will staff get feedback ?• Develop Training Calendar of PD-orientation,

annual staff development days, staff meetings• Develop Access for Teacher Support- Request for

Assistance• Communication to Staff Support “Team”• Can District/Admin deliver Time and Resources?
