DMM Implementation Teams Institutes of Higher Education
What is DMM? • Collaborative project between the Iowa Department of Education and Florida State University • Comprehensive professional development system to increase family centered services in natural environments statewide
Key Components of DMM • Clearly Defined Evidence Based Framework • Collaborative, Cross Sector Policy and Practice Content • Diverse, Evidence-based, Sustained PD Formats • Technology Supported PD • Multi-level Assessment and Evaluation
Defining the Implementation Team • Implementation has multiple definitions… • Fulfillment, putting into action, putting into effect, carry out, satisfy, performance, execution • My favorite- strategy execution! • For DMM, each of the definitions fits what we need to do… (but not necessarily in the order listed!) • And with everything we want to do… • We need a team
Quick Reminder of Implementation Team’s First Steps • Set up the team • Identify members • Find time(s) to meet/connect • Gather information • Program description • Technology survey • Identify 1st Cohort Peer Partners • Support the peer partners access to PD
Now What?Putting into Action… • Begin a written plan with your own regional goals, expectations, timelines and data to collect that will support your cohort membership • Revisit the membership… now what you have gotten a start… is anyone missing who could help make the process move forward • Quicker (e.g. another/different administrator? Techie? Another member to help out? Support staff?) • With more enthusiasm (e.g. a family member, IHE member, community provider, someone who gets it?) • With credibility (e.g. someone who is doing it already, a community leader who is on board?
Get Ready for Implementation… • Appoint a leader • Review your written plan with the State Team • Be sure you are gathering the information you need/want to validate implementation from multiple sources (e.g. State team, External evaluator, FSU, Peer partners, local/regional teams) • Make sure your peer partners have everything they need and are ready to roll
Carry Out/Execute! • Keep an eye and ear out for potential barriers or challenges… just getting started isn’t enough… keeping it going requires attention • Set up a schedule for communication with your team, with the Peer Partners and their supervisors (if it isn’t you), with the State Team, with FSU (we love to stay in touch!) • Share your message with others frequently, consistently, simply and get others to join you
Check out the AI Hub! • http://implementation.fpg.unc.edu/module-3 • An entire learning module on Implementation Teams • Cites research that shows difference between use of implementation teams and what happens without it! (Not much!) • Teams are the difference between letting it happen, helping it happen and MAKING IT HAPPEN!
