Assessment
1. How can school personnel identify an evidence-based practice or program? What resources might they consult during this process?
2. What is fidelity of implementation and why is it important?
3. Discuss at least three actions that school personnel can take to promote the fidelity of implementation of a new practice or program.
4. Discuss four goals of ongoing PD support.
5. The sixth-grade teachers at Jefferson Middle School are implementing a new math program this year. School personnel identify the key procedures of the program (see below). Using these step-by-step procedures, help the Jefferson Middle implementation team create a fidelity measure (e.g., observation form, teacher survey). Hint: Be sure to include items related to quality of implementation.
