2 A Scientific Approach to Improving Long-term & Sustainable Outcomes Questions to Address What s Science? How does it work? Why SISEP in Washington? Where & how do I learn more? 2

3 SISEP: State & Scaling-up of Evidence-based Practices SISEP is a National Technical Assistance Center Funded by the U.S. Department of Education s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) SISEP assists States, School Districts and Schools in applying implementation science through building sustainable implementation infrastructures SISEP s goal is to support a system that effectively employs evidence-based practices to improve student outcomes State & Scaling-up of Evidence-based Practices EBPs Students cannot benefit from interventions they do not receive. 3

4 & Scaling-up Evidence-Based Practices GOAL Improved Outcomes for ALL Students & Scaling-up Evidence-Based Practices Building & improving the infrastructure to deliver effective practices. Building capacity in the system to reach each student and address their unique strengths and needs. 4

5 How Science Adds Value to Our System Formula for Success WHAT Effective Innovations HOW & WHO Effective WHERE Enabling Contexts WHY Educationally Significant Outcomes 2012 Dean Fixsen and Karen Blase, National Research Network 5

6 How SISEP Works SISEP provides States and Districts with: Intensive technical assistance to establish an effective & affordable infrastructure for implementation of evidence-based programs & practices (EBPs) Coordinated and shared professional learning via webinars and communities of practice Online and off-line coaching, teaching and learning about implementation, scaling, and system reinvention Tools and resources for conducting this work, including formative and summative evaluation tools for action planning, monitoring and outcome assessment Active Frameworks Fixsen, D. L., Naoom, S. F., Blase, K. A., Friedman, R. M. & Wallace, F. (2005). Research: A Synthesis of the literature. NIRN. 6

7 Applying Frameworks Why SISEP? Washington s Goal: To build a statewide system that deliberately and consistently implements effective K-12 education practices to improve student outcomes * The system s process is maintained even if the members or initiatives change. Initial Focus: Early Literacy Initiative (K-4 ELA) Inclusion of Students with Disabilities and IEPs Inclusion of Buildings in School Turnaround 7

8 Linking Teams Framework Teams leverage implementation science principles and systems change best practices to support the widespread and systematic use of evidence-based programs and practices. Teaming to Build Capacity for Scaling State ESDs Districts Schools Classrooms Students & Families 8

10 SISEP & STS Support 5/12/2015 Assessment and Action Planning Tools State Capacity Assessment (SCA) Administered Twice a Year (Fall & Spring) Provides Baseline and Outcome Data Drives State Action Planning Regional Capacity Assessment (RCA) Administered Twice a Year (Fall & Spring) Provides Baseline and Outcome Data Drives Regional Action Planning District Capacity Assessment (DCA) Administered Twice a Year (Fall & Spring) Provides Baseline and Outcome Data Drives State action Planning Section and Tools Hexagon Tool for EBPs Practice Profiles to operationalize EBPs Selection, Training and Coaching of EBPs Fidelity checks to improve systemic implementation of EBPs Transformation Zone School District School School School ESD District School School School District School School Exploration Exploration with Districts Assess potential match of needs, resources and readiness to participate Mutual Selection Exploration and mutual selection process repeats with School Buildings 10

11 Initial Focus in K- 4 ELA WHAT: Effective & Usable Practices and Programs WHO & HOW: Effective Methods WHERE: Enabling Contexts WHY: Educationally Significant Outcomes Role of Student Support Provide leadership and guidance in the construction of a statewide system Scale-up a system to support delivery of high quality and effective instruction and supports Improve the process of supporting districts, schools and educators and students by implementing effective practices that align with their changing resources, strengths and needs 11

12 Address the need of each region, district, community and student with in selecting and implementing practices Effective Innovations Usable Interventions Performance Assessment Operational Definitions Essential Functions Clear Description 12

13 Implications for Sustainability & Scalability Effective Innovations Help Districts and Schools operationalize the WHAT Practice Profiles Help Schools and Districts make space for the new work Supportive policies and practices Selecting the Right Programs & Practices for Students Hexagon Tool Need and Fit Resource Availability Evidence Readiness for Replication Capacity to Implement 13

14 Progress to Date Support at State (OSPI) State Management Team Leadership State Transformation Specialists State Design Team formed State Capacity Assessments (SCA) Support at ESDs Two Transformation Zones Identified Regional Capacity Assessments (RCA) this month Regional Teams formed District and Building-Level work District Teams beginning installation and buildinglevel team members For More Information State Transformation Specialist Wendy Iwaszuk State Transformation Specialist Rachel Hart 14

15 What did I learn? Where can I learn more? How can we collaboratively support students more effectively moving forward together??
