What is a FIP School? Our goal is to make every school in Ohio a FIP School – a school committed to embracing formative instructional practices as part of its culture.
FIP Your School FIP Your School believes in the following model to create meaningful, sustainable change.
What Are Formative Instructional Practices? • Formative instructional practices (FIP) are the formal and informal ways that teachers and students gather and respond to evidence of student learning. • What’s the difference? • Formative Instructional Practices • Formative Assessment • Assessment for Learning
Core Components of Formative Instructional Practices Using clear learning targets Collecting and documenting evidence of student learning Providing effective feedback Student ownership of learning
What Matters Most? • Teacher clarity • Learning objectives • Feedback • Formative evaluation Visible Learningby John Hattie (2009)
Why FormativeInstructional Practices? • The research is clear – using high-impact formative instructional practices can translate to significant gains in student achievement. • Race to the Top has provided Ohio with the resources necessary to focus on the strategies that will truly improve student learning.

Option A: District/LEA-Wide Approach • Comprehensive, system-wide approach to adopting formative instructional practices • FIP Facilitators are building-embedded • Emphasis on common district/LEA vision • Requires additional release time and district/LEA-wide coordination and monitoring • Additional incentives are offered to districts/LEAs participating in this option
Option B: Central Office Approach • A minimum of two FIP Facilitators from central office are selected to work with all buildings in the district • FIP Facilitators work with FIP Specialists and district leadership to determine strategy for building capacity in each school • Advantages include use of existing central office resources and less concern about building-level release time • May be more difficult to build and sustain capacity in schools
Option C: Incremental Approach • A portion of schools in the district are selected to be “early adopters” for first year of FIP Your School • Each early adopter school has embedded FIP Facilitators • Early adopter schools serve as pilots/learning labs to inform the expected rollout in additional buildings • FIP Specialists work with FIP Facilitators and district leadership to create strategy for expanding to additional schools • Can be easier to coordinate, especially for large districts • Does not emphasize a common vision and common practices
