7. How does New Hampshire’s process of reviewing plans and providing feedback differ from the process used in South Dakota? Purpose: similar: understanding of work being done in F/P schools; supports needed; provide feedback Participants: similar but NH does not have coaches Process: Data Analysis days for SD; Tri-annual reviews for NH Work day/Tri-annual review: review of the evidence; use of a rubric Work groups: similar but NH spreads their reviews over 3 days for each of the tri-annual reviews.

8. Double Blind review of the 41 plans in NH Strengths: transparency of the process; timely feedback; opportunities to work on the plan with guidance; focused support from the DOE; both maximize use of Indistar process. NH reports that a more serious approach is being taken to completing the Innovation plans by the schools. Challenges: also very similar: changing staff especially in critical positions; finding enough reviewers; interrater reliability.
