Purpose of SWIFT-FIA
13
SWIFT Fidelity Integrity Assessment (SWIFT-FIA) is a self-assessment used by School Leadership Teams to examine their current implementation status of schoolwide practices that have been demonstrated through research to provide a basis for successfully supporting all students who live in the school community. School teams can determine areas of strength and areas of growth. These valuable team conversations will propel school transformative efforts and support sustainability. The collaborative nature of the SWIFT-FIA ensures that diverse voices are honored, as multiple perspectives are made present during the assessment.

School-based teams can administer SWIFT-FIA through a structured conversation accompanied by a review of evidence to substantiate the ratings they assign each item. By assessing the extent of current implementation of the Equity-based MTSS framework, teams can monitor their progress over time.
14
Conducting the SWIFT-FIA
15
Who completes SWIFT-FIA?
16
A trained School Leadership Team completes SWIFT-FIA with one person facilitating the discussion and helping the team assign scores. The facilitator can be either an internal person to the school (including a member of the leadership team), or an external person (e.g. district leader, coach) who is well-versed in the Equity-based MTSS framework. This facilitator clearly understands the Equity- based MTSS framework and can articulate what it looks like when schools implement each Equity-based MTSS feature. The individual facilitating should be trained in the content of the features, group facilitation, and criteria for scoring SWIFT-FIA. A school team should be trained in using SWIFT-FIA to discuss the school’s performance and implementation progress.
17
When and how often should SWIFT-FIA be completed?
18
SWIFT-FIA results should be used on a regular basis to monitor stages of implementation across the features. It is recommended that a School Leadership Team completes SWIFT-FIA approximately every 3 months (or fall, winter, and spring of the school year) to discuss progress and barriers to progress, and how changes can be implemented. At the very least, school teams should complete SWIFT-FIA twice a school year to coincide with planning and accountability cycles in their district.
19
How is SWIFT-FIA completed?
20
A School Leadership Team reviews each descriptive statement on SWIFT-FIA and examines its currentstatus (e.g., We are Laying the Foundation, Installing, Implementing, or Sustaining Schoolwide Implementation). The facilitator should note item components that are in place following team discussions. Team members should schedule 90–120 minutes for the first administration and at least 60 minutes for subsequent progress monitoring administrations. Over time, teams can expect to become more efficient and focus on changes that result from implementation efforts.
21
Use of SWIFT-FIA Results
22
Results provide a snapshot of the school's current implementation of Equity-based MTSS. Uses include:
23
∙ Identifying and prioritizing practices for transformation or continuous improvement
24
∙ Internal decision making about actions to install and implement those practices
25
∙ Follow up on effects of action plans on practices
26
Implementation Stages
27
The current status of each item in SWIFT-FIA is assessed on a 0–3 scale. Each corresponding number represents a Stage of Implementation and is determined by the number of components in place. The SWIFT-FIA facilitator should note which components are in place following team discussion and their review of evidence.
28
0Laying the Foundation
29
Our school does not have the components of this item in place and no actions are planned or in progress at this time. However, our school may have discussed our current status and the need for implementation, including discussions to identify existing strengths and opportunities.
30
1Installing
31
Our school has a clear plan and is actively working to put in place the components of this item. Our School Leadership Team defined clear plans to develop the feature and personnel are assigned responsibility for carrying out the planned tasks.
32
2Implementing
33
Our school has in place all the implementation components and is now refining and improving upon them. Our transformation efforts are starting to make systemic changes.
34
3Sustaining Schoolwide Implementation
35
Our school has in place all components and continues to make efforts to ensure they are fully integrated and well functioning. Our school maintains and improves skills through the system. Overall effectiveness is monitored and components for ongoing implementation are revised to improve contextual fit when necessary.
