DI Implementation Influences Research-based practices for teaching literacy, especially effective with ELs, connected to or building on LEA/site pre-existing PD context Implementation Science: Fixsen Influencer
2010-11 RSIU Unit Goals • Increase the percent of English Learners: • Scoring proficient or higher in ELA as measured by district benchmarks. * • Scoring proficient or higher on CST in ELA and math. • Achieving English proficiency as measured by CELDT
How Did We Do with Our Goals? 2009-12 CST Data 09-12 CELDT English Proficient Riv Cty Sta Cl Cty ’09 37 39 ’12 41 43 Gain 4 4 District benchmark assessments are a challenge to measure growth. Riv Cty CA ELA ’09 34.3 33.3 ’12 40.5 40.6 Gain 6.2 7.3 Math ’09 43.2 42.8 ’12 49.0 48.8 Gain 5.8 6.7
2013-14 DI Goal • Implement DI to facilitate transition to Common Core State Standards/ ELD Standards
2010: What We Did • Provide 18 hours of EL-focused DI professional development to eligible PI schools in eligible districts. • Provide principal coaching during walk-throughs to support implementation and monitoring of DI. • Funded through Regional System of District and School Support.
2013: What’s Been Added? • Year 2: Lesson planning process. Deeper rigor and principal coaching. Originally developed to help EL students – helps all. Learning Walks. • Year 3: Deepen lesson planning. Focus more on CCSS. More trouble-shooting with principal and DO. LEA/site develops own monitoring docs and Learning Walks

2010-13 Lessons Learned • From Walkthrus to Learning Walks • Building on or connection to existing district/site PD context • Principal and RCOE staff dialogue w/ teacher • On learning walks teachers see for themselves why the school might be stalled. • From Walkthrus to Learning Walks • How someone else doesit “with kids like mine”. • If numbers get in the way take them out. • It’s about the conversation that moves implementation ahead. • “Come back in 10 minutes, I want to show you something.”

What Works? Teacher Reflection on DI Implementation: Innovation • Created by a school in year 3. • Customized • Used in that school.
What Works? Tech Apps. • Not about using tech for implemen- tation data • Photos & videos of implementation used at trainings show rich variations. • Celebrate good work.
What Didn’t Work • District Implosion is Bad: • Teachers • Principals • DO • No Expectation for Follow-up • Morale
