  1. Diffusion of Innovation Presentation easyCBM™ Collis L. Grisby

  2. Needs FOR iNNOVATION • The need that gave rise to this innovation involved the inability of school districts to stay within compliance with federal regulations governing students that were identified to have learning disabilities. • The problem was that without this innovation, the burden of the problem was the responsibility of the teachers within the school in terms of identification, monitoring, assessments, and charting growth. • In addition, a monitoring system that was aligned to the Response to Intervention (RTI) model was needed because it is the standard multi-level prevention system used to assist in the education of students.

  3. Research

  4. Development • Although there were not any problems discovered to arise in the development process, increased interest from teachers and administrators led to the development of the innovation being taken to an additional level. • The program started out as a K-3 Reading Curriculum assessment, and then evolved to become a K-8 Reading, and afterward through additional funding incorporated K-8 Mathematics. • The intended audience of easyCBM is K-12 schools and school districts as a whole, especially Special Education coordinators.

  5. Commercialization

  6. S-Curve

  7. Timeline • 2006—Funding for the program supplied by the Model Demonstration Centers on Progress Monitoring, U.S. Department of Education • 2009—First line of product made available to school districts in the state of Oregon for research. • 2010—First sales made to 18 additional school districts in nine states. • 2010—Program extended to include K-8 Reading • 2011—Focus group created to sample the new program where K-8 Mathematics and Reading were tested • 2012—Partnership with HMH’s Riverside Publishing with for distributions and sales, original group maintain maintenance and further development

  8. Key Change Agents • The key change agents in the K12 structure would include the Curriculum Coordinator, Principals, Special Education Coordinator, and Literacy/Mathematics Coach.

  9. Innovators/Early Adopters • The innovators and early adopters in our school would be Curriculum Coordinator and Literacy/Mathematic Coach. The best strategy for persuading them to adopt the easyCBM program would be the demonstration method to began and the data analysis afterward.

  10. Laggards

  11. Laggards (CONT) • The possible laggards in the innovation process would be those seasoned teachers that feel that their schedules are already full and view this product as just another “here today, gone tomorrow” situation. • Another possible set of laggards would be the teachers of non-tested areas such as Social Studies, Physical Education, and Computer Technology teachers because the district would use these classes to pull students from in the testing process.

  12. Laggard’s Solution • One possible strategy for moving the laggards towards adoption would be peer-pressure from the other teachers within the school. • Another possible strategy would be policy set by the administrators and explained to the staff as to the benefits of having students complete the program, even if it means adding an additional class period to the day and name it learning strategies. 

  13. Perceived Attributes • Compatibility • Compatibility of an innovation involves the degree to which the potential adopters view the product in reference to existing values, past experiences, and current needs (Rogers, 2003). • Trialibility • Trialability is defined as the degree to which the innovation can be practiced with on a limited basis (Rogers, 2003).

  14. Adoption of Innovation

  15. Critical Mass

  16. Critical Mass (CONT) • Critical Mass Strategy 3 • easyCBM will be introduced to the Special Education coordinator and the Teacher Support Team first because they interact with strategies recommended for RTI on a daily basis. • Next, the teachers of tested area will be introduced to the innovation to show how data can be housed, tracked, and disaggregated to help create data driven decisions when instructing and tutoring.

  17. Need in our District • "LITERACY-BASED PROMOTION ACT“ • Senate Bill 2347 • Require school districts to provide intensive reading instruction and intervention to students exhibiting a substantial deficiency in Reading in Kindergarten and Grades 1 through 3 • Students not reading proficiently by end of Third Grade to be RETAINED

  18. Solution • EasyCBM™ • Periodical Assessments • Progress Monitoring • Intense Interventions • Research based Strategies

  19. High stakes • Student Retention • State Department Monitoring • Local school district must include provisions required by this act to the district's published handbook of policy for employees and students.
