23. 23 Activities Connection to SPR 40/90, SA/ASSIST SA* Getting Ready to Implement Implement Monitoring Fidelity of Implementation and Impact How will you address the targeted areas in your Process Data (SPP) ? What areas in your process data have been identified as challenge areas during your comprehensive needs assessment process? How will you ensure readiness for implementation? How will you ensure that participants have the knowledge and skills to implement? POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES Professional development around strategy Purchase materials Planning for implementation – Identify schedule for strategy use, personnel, mechanism for monitoring, rollout, etc. Communication vehicles How will you ensure successful implementation for your selected activities? POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES Communication – to whom? How? Ongoing coaching? Observations? Instructional technology utilized? * Activities to support at-risk students (For Title One students)* Parent Involvement * *Required Components How will you ensure the program/activity is implemented with fidelity? How will you monitor the programs impact on student achievement? POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES Walkthroughs PLC/CASL meetings Documentation of effective implementation Documentation of impact Demonstration classrooms, videos, self assessments Gathering achievement data

24. 24 Monitoring Monitoring Implementation and Impact Are you meeting on a regular basis to monitor implementation of your plan? What does the data say when you monitored implementation? What evidence have you collected to determine if adults are implementing with fidelity? What evidence have you collected to determine the impact of implementation? What adjustments are suggested by implementation and impact data? How might these adjustments affect the integrity of results? How will you communicate progress with stakeholders?

KC II.2.B.4; AdvancED Indicator 3.6  What evidence do you have that implementation adhered to strategies, timelines, and responsibilities? KC II.2.B.4: AdvancED Indicator 3.6 IMPACT  What impact has the strategy/activity had on students and what is your evidence? KC I.3.B.3; AdvancED Indicators 3.2, 5.2  What impact has the strategy/activity had on your subgroups and what is the evidence?

34. 34 Evaluate Plan  The process is cyclical, and evaluation data should inform the next cycle of planning.  The ultimate goal is to have improvement strategies take hold and become so internalized that they become part of the school culture.

35. 35 Evaluate Plan - Conclusion Given your evidence, what adjustments are needed to your School Improvement Plan, if any? What do we continue to do? What do we stop doing? What do we need to “tweak”?

36. 36 Evaluate Plan - Digging Deeper To what extent was this the right strategy/activity to address your need? What is needed to maintain momentum and accelerate achievement gains? Are the benefits of the strategy/activity sufficient to justify the resources it requires? How might these results inform the School Improvement Plan?

37. 37 It is also critical that the School Improvement Team structure opportunities to celebrate successes, no matter how small. Celebrating successes reinforces valued performance and reminds the school community that however challenging, school improvement results in improved academic performance. One Voice – One Plan

38. 38 Checking for Understanding evaluating What are your questions about evaluating implementation and impact?

39. 39 One Voice – One Plan change improvement effective classroom practices. However noble, sophisticated, or enlightened proposals for change and improvement might be, they come to nothing if teachers don’t adopt them in their own classrooms and if they don’t translate them into effective classroom practices.
