  14. Why Monitor Implementation of Professional Development? TO GATHER AND USE DATA • To monitor the implementation of professional development content • To monitor IMPACT on student learning and teacher behavior • To adjust the professional development plan Source: Iowa Professional Development Model – Tool2(cycle)4 Tool can be found on page 56 of the Implementation Section 2011 GPAEA

  15. Collaboration/Implementation Two consistent findings in research: • Much of the content of training is never implemented in classrooms - 12% with fidelity. • Successful implementation of professional development uses the power of collaborative work of teachers to solve problems and change practice 2011 GPAEA

  16. 2011 GPAEA

  17. Collaboration/ Implementation The Iowa Professional Development Model provides structure for teacher collaboration. Examples include: • rehearsing lessons • planning lesson together • observing each other • studying data • solving problems related to using new strategy 2011 GPAEA

  27. What Is “The Implementation Dip”? • Literally a dip in performance and confidence as one encounters an innovation that requires new skills and new understandings • Feelings associated with the “dip” include anxiousness, fearfulness, confusion and cautiousness 2011 GPAEA

  28. BEWARE OF…The Implementation Dip • “One of our most consistent findings and understandings about the change process in education is that all successful schools experience “implementation dips” as they move forward. -Michael Fullan 2011 GPAEA

  29. How Effective Leaders Deal with the “Dip” • They know that change is a process, not an event. • They don’t panic, they manage the “dip” • They encourage staff to continue with their efforts. • They “launch” an initiative and make adjustments based on data. • They listen. 2011 GPAEA

  30. REMEMBER…Key “Jobs” as you implement your plan • Meet regularly to monitor progress • Have a focused review process • Maintain the focus and endurance of the plan • Include appropriate LEA and AEA members in your team • Communicate and celebrate the progress 2011 GPAEA
