2. Objectives: Build shared understanding about implementation science
Utilize Tools of the Trade: Forcefield analysis to determine potential next steps
Provide an opportunity for supported implementation planning

3. Using our knowledge of Assessment for Learning (CASL, Stiggins)
Where are we going?
Where are we now?
How can we close the gap?

4. It’s Really Simple…
It all comes back to implementation!

5. The BIG Why? “The job of every school district is to make certain
that supportive conditions are in place to
ensure standards-based practices are implemented
in every school, in every classroom, every day.”
“To ensure all district and school staff understand and implement standards-based practices, district and school leaders must commit to a system-wide infrastructure
of support that builds the capacity of teachers
and monitors and sustain effective classroom practices.”

9. Be ready to share your answer
Define It...
What is a data team?
Be ready to share your answer

10. What are the risks if we “water it down?”

11. What is close, but not quite?
Pair the items on the previous list with a corresponding “Almost” or “No”
What are the boundaries by level?

2. Where are we now?
Our current reality...
… as a district?
… by level/school?

15. Tools of the Trade: Forcefield Analysis
As a table group, take a few minutes to list:
Driving Forces (What is helping)
Restraining Force (What is hurting)
Knowing that our desired outcome is effective data teams that increase student outcomes...

16. Force Field Analysis
Desired Change:
Effective data teams that increase student outcomes
Driving Forces (+)
Restraining Forces (-)
Actions: 1. 2. 3.

17. Tools of the Trade: Forcefield Analysis
As a table group, take a few minutes to list:
Driving Forces (What is helping)
Restraining Force (What is hurting)
Knowing that our desired outcome is effective data teams that increase student outcomes...

18. Other Things to Consider...
Assessment Literacy Knowledge and Skills
Resources Used/Available
Quality/Quantity of Coaching support
Time Used/Available
Technology Options/Challenges
Physical Meeting Space Opportunities/Limitations
Level of collaboration?
(cooperating? coordinating? or really collaborating?
Clarity around expectations
Accountability - What are we monitoring?
What else?

19. Forcefield Analysis Tool
Restraining Forces:
Eliminate anything that is outside of your circle of control
Vote for your top 2 most actionable items (#1 ,#2)
Driving Forces:
Eliminate anything that is outside of your circle of control
Vote for your top 2 most actionable items (#1 ,#2)

20. Time For An Action Plan Select your highest scoring item overall
and work together to
choose three action steps related to it.
Remember you can increase drivers or decrease restraining forces… both will support your goal!

3. How can we close the gap?

22. An inspirational video… Then a leveled brainstorm

23. A Reminder...
Implementation Drivers

24. Things to Consider... Options for building assessment literacy (SAI)
Resources that can be reallocated
Increasing coaching support
How can we give more time or make the time more efficient?
Options for technology supports
Adjusting physical meeting space
What MUST we monitor?
How can we give better feedback
Clarifying expectations
What else?

25. Timeline/Plan What do we ALL need? What is level specific?
When can we expect to get these things done?

26. Next Steps/Parking Lot
Is there anything else that needs to be added to the list?

28. Reflection & Feedback Ticket out the Door I want to remember…
My next tiny step will be….
My next BIG step will be…
