What Is the Implementation Journey?

Research shows that access to high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) is vital for improving teaching and learning. However, implementing HQIM requires a fundamental shift in teacher practice, professional learning, systems, structures, and policies. Without a clear roadmap for navigating the implementation journey, these enabling conditions become serious roadblocks to improving student learning.

The Instructional Materials Implementation Journey

Implementation science suggests that people move through a series of non-linear but relatively predictable stages when implementing a new program, including new instructional materials.

Rivet Education’s Instructional Materials Implementation Tool serves as a roadmap for the five phases of HQIM implementation. It is the foundation for the data submitted and displayed in the [Client] Implementation Dashboard. The tool outlines the key actions and corresponding success criteria that school system leadership, school leadership, and teachers need to navigate each phase successfully.

Why Is [client] Investing in An Implementation Dashboard?

[Specific context about initiatives this work is related to – CLSD grant, early literacy initiative, etc]

The [Client] Implementation Dashboard captures data about HQIM implementation at the school system, school, and teacher level twice a year, in the fall and spring semesters. Reporting on this data allows Implementation Dashboard users to identify trends and next steps to support the implementation of HQIM and provide helpful data to the [client] to support the efforts of school system leadership, school leadership, and teachers.
