  • Slide 2
  • K-12 System Implementation and Monitoring (SIM) Purpose To support a board team throughout the year in the implementation and monitoring of a mathematics goal in the BIPSA.
  • Slide 3
  • K-12 System Implementation and Monitoring (SIM) Team Membership A Superintendent with school responsibilities along with elementary and secondary principals from that superintendency At least one person with responsibility for development of the BIPSA so that the learning from SIM is leveraged across the Board Coordinators or consultants who work directly in schools in the superintendency SELs and SSLs
  • Slide 4
  • Expectations The same team should attend all three sessions for ongoing learning one session builds on another Delegate one board team member to take responsibility for collating the documentation of the teams learning at SIM as well as the learning between SIM sessions and for bringing the documentation to each SIM session Teams meet or teleconference to continue the work between SIM sessions

  • The Year Ahead SIM 1: going deeper with implementation; developing a growth mindset culture to support implementation In-between work: document the implementation process and team learning SIM 2: (Feb. 10 & 11) reflection and analysis of the implementation process, team learning and monitoring to date In-between work: collecting, documenting and analyzing evidence of impact to date SIM 3: (May 5 & 6) intentional focus on the outcome of the process, cross-board sharing

  • Implementation and Monitoring Implementation is an active, intentional process that guides the use and integration of a set of actions that leads to the effective use of evidence-informed practice. Monitoring is the ongoing gathering, reviewing and assessing of information to track and document progress towards results and goals. -Adapted from Utilization Focused Evaluation, M. Patton
  • Slide 9
  • Minds-On Task #1 If you were asked to observe a teachers math classroom for one or more lessons, what would you look for to decide whether the mathematics instruction is high quality? -K. Katterfeld, 2013 Think on your own for 5 minutes and write each idea on a different sticky. Use a fine black marker so that the ideas can easily be seen. After 5 minutes share your ideas with your team and post the ideas on the chart paper. Put your board name at the top of your chart paper.

  • Best Evidence Synthesis on Effective Pedagogy in Mathematics Effective mathematical pedagogy is a coherent system rather than a set of discrete, interchangeable strategies. This pedagogical system encompasses: A non-threatening classroom environment Instructional tasks Tools and representations Classroom discourse Effective Pedagogy in Mathematics/Pangarau by Glenda Anthony & Margaret Walshaw, New Zealand (2007)
  • Slide 12
  • Team Discussion Add new ideas to your view of high quality mathematics instruction.
  • Slide 13
  • Planning for Implementation Task # 2 1.What is your BIPSA mathematics goal? 2.How does your goal relate to your understanding of high quality mathematics instruction? 1.What questions do you have about this goal? 4.What will be different for: students, teachers, principals and superintendents if this goal is realized? Record your goal on a piece of chart paper.

  • Implementation Challenges What is adopted is often not used with fidelity. What is used with fidelity is often not sustained for a useful period of time. What is used with fidelity is often not used on a scale sufficient to impact many students.
  • Slide 16
  • Implementation Video
  • Slide 17
  • Questions Posed in the Video Which of these questions, if any, are relevant to your discussion about implementation? Who can do it? How do we do it? How do we train for it? How will we evaluate it? How will we capture our experience so that we can share our knowledge with others? How would we avoid the mistakes in our plan?
  • Slide 18
  • Reading Three school improvement mistakes (and how to avoid them)
  • Slide 19
  • Planning for Implementation Task #4 What are the specific action steps that need to be accomplished? What and how will you monitor, document and analyze the learning for each group (student, teacher, principal, superintendent) for each action step? Use one colour of post-it for implementation steps and another colour for monitoring
  • Slide 20
  • Process for Task #4 Individual activity - use one colour of sticky for action steps and another colour for how you will monitor that step. Team Activity Consider all implementation and monitoring ideas developed by the team - Sort and classify your ideas
