SCWI
Is the initiative actually what we say it is and what it’s funded to be?
How can we minimize the risks involved in not delivering what the programs are intended to deliver?
Government working on their priorities based on stakeholder feedback

4. Responding to Government Priorities
This Request for Proposals (RFP) is much the same as the RFP for the current year. If the government identifies new priorities and there are changes to the SCWI, then Regional Planning Teams will be provided the opportunity to respond through a separate RFP to any new priorities. Please forward this memorandum to the appropriate staff in your organization.

8. Program Fidelity: Dual Credit Teacher Forums
29/04/2019
Program Fidelity: Dual Credit Teacher Forums
Activity and Forum Monitoring reports indicate that, in some cases, Dual Credit Teacher forums do not include dual credit teachers and college faculty
Need to reinforce policy and procedures with dual credit teachers and college faculty
Need to provide time for collaboration
It is expected that each RPT will deliver at least one forum:
all dual credit teachers and college faculty receive orientation around dual credits, including roles and responsibilities, policies and procedures.
college faculty and dual credit teachers discuss the content of the dual credit, students and supports.
share successful practices in such areas as instruction, assessment and evaluation
These are not intended to provide basic information on dual credits for school staff not involved in the delivery of the program. (p.2)

Financial Responsibility: Activities and Forums Funding vs Participants
EDCS data indicates there are some Activities and Forums that had far fewer than requested participants, but spent most or all of the approved funding
In cases where the benchmark either generates too much or too little funding to run an activity or forum, RPTs are asked to detail their request in the Miscellaneous section of the online application rather than requesting benchmark funding. (p.2)
