2 A statewide structure to create capacity for an integrated Behavior and Reading Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) that can be implemented with fidelity, is sustainable over time and utilizes data- based decision making at all levels of implementation support What is MiBLSi?

6 Piecemealness Fullan, 2003 “It is not the pace of change that is the culprit, it is the piecemealness and fragmentation what wears us down.”

Common Themes Cross Initiatives 1.We need to invest in structures to “Make it happen” rather than just “Allow it to happen” 2.It is not enough to just show an effect, we need to work toward effective impact that endures over time 3.It is important to develop implementation capacity rather than dependency- investing in local capacity will allow us to go to scale

8 Just doing more is not always better- you are limited by the project resources But, strategically connecting to other initiatives enables greater reach, impact and durability Quantity vs. Quality

9 We cannot make a difference in changing student outcomes unless we are around (longevity) and we expand our opportunity to access more students (extend our reach) We have been working to extend, connect, and collaborate with other initiatives address the above

Model Demonstration: Does it work in a specific setting with a specific population? Replications: Can it be reproduced in different settings with different populations? Replications: Can it be reproduced in different settings with different populations? Scale-Up: Increase “reach” of practice to critical mass of implementation Scale-Up: Increase “reach” of practice to critical mass of implementation Embed w/in existing work: Provide access as current practice Examine Feasibility/Efficacy of Practice Being Developed Modifying System for Standard Practice Invest heavily in resources to produce results Utilize typical/existing resources Our connections with other initiatives depends on the maturity and stability of the initiative

National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention: Detroit Youth Violence Prevention Initiative

Develop local implementation capacity for districts: First cohort (2015) of 9 district teams

14 Vision: Michigan will implement an aligned, seamless and responsive system that empowers professional educators with knowledge and skills to implement evidence-based practices and interventions to improve the achievement of struggling readers Kdg-3. Michigan Department of Education and Universities Western Michigan University Northern Michigan University Grand Valley State University Sienna Heights University Collaboration for Effective Educator Development, Accountability and Reform (CEEDAR) Center Grant

15 Strategy #1: Give every student the research-supported diagnostic and screening instruments, instruction, and interventions necessary for success. Strategy #2: Provide every educator with training to use diagnostic-driven methods with knowledge and fidelity. Strategy #3: Engage parents in developing their children’s early literacy skills through information, awareness, and outreach. Strategy #4: Implement a K-3 Smart Promotion model Strategy #5: Provide Michigan teachers and leaders with data that compares our status and growth over time and when compared to other states.
