Next Steps- Implementation Phase:

10 pilot sites to receive tailored supports by the Office of CIPD (Curriculum, Instruction, & Professional Development) and the Office of CWAS (Child Welfare, Attendance, & Safety).

What are the implementation steps?

• Plan: School leaders explore options for design and make a plan for those individuals will be involved and how to conduct the process.

• Engage and Develop: School and community members share their hopes and vision for an ideal school with equity and excellence. Statements are generated describing their ideal school aligned to the SWIFT (School Wide Integrated Framework for Transformation) Domains and Features.

• Dialogue: School and community members dialogue, make sense of their initial descriptive statements, and build initial agreement for their design of the SWIFT Domains and Features.

• Agree: A formal consensus survey is administered in which stakeholders are polled for their level of agreement to the finalized statement(s). Statements with high agreement are organized by feature and used as the focus of implementation efforts.

^{Next Steps- Year 2}

Being able to assess whether practices are implemented with fidelity allows us to rule out inadequate implementation as a reason for poor student performance. (McIntosh & Goodman, 2016)
