Land Acknowledgement
ESD 112 acknowledges and honors the traditional lands of the Cowlitz and Chinook Tribes, Lower Columbia Peoples, Shoalwater Bay Tribe and the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, on which our school districts reside in what is now Southwest Washington. We pay respect to the elders and caretakers that have stewarded these lands throughout generations and that are still here today.

My Why… “I believe to my core that MTSS allows for equitable outcomes for students in all areas of schooling.”
Experience
Why a Community of Practice:
Our Objectives:
1. Participants will develop a conceptual understanding of the state-wide MTSS framework
2. Participants will take a deeper dive into the five essential components of Washington State MTSS (Team-Driven Shared Leadership, Data-Based Decision Making, Family, Student and Community Engagement, Continuum of Supports and Evidence-Base Practices).
3. Participants will familiarize themselves with Implementation Science as a key driver for MTSS scaleup in their district.
4. Participants will familiarize themselves with the District Capacity Assessment (DCA) or District Systems Fidelity Inventory (DSFI) in an effort to plan for implementation

Let’s Talk
Implementation Science
Team-Driven Shared Leadership
Focus Question: Why is teaming so essential to success?
There is no way a single system
has all the time,
all the knowledge,
and all the skills
to meet all the needs
of every child in every school or district.
~ Buffman, Mattos, and Webber 2009
We depend on collective efficacy.

A group of stakeholders that oversees, attends to, and is accountable for key functions of innovation selection, implementation, and improvement
It is not:
…an advisory body
…a group that provides only periodic
input or meets during crisis
…a technical work group
…a learning collaborative

Essential Questions of the DIT/School Team?
What do we want all schools to know and be able to do?
How will we know when they learned it/it's implemented?
How will we respond when they don't?
How will we extend the learning when schools reach fidelity measures?
Who are your champions?
Champion Definition: A “champion” as an implementation-related role occupied by people who (1) are internal to an organization; (2) generally have an intrinsic interest and commitment to implementing a change; (3) work diligently and relentlessly to drive implementation forward, even if those efforts receive no formal recognition or compensation; (4) are enthusiastic, dynamic, energetic, personable, and persistent; and (5) have the strength of conviction.” (Miech, 2018)
