Data

Work collaboratively to actively monitor Florida Standards implementation at your school.

Review two aspects of the CBAM framework: Stages of Concern and Levels of Use and learn about Innovation Configuration (IC).

Review current level of implementation based on data from monitoring tools, Stages of Concern, and Levels of Use.

Identify key messages to stakeholders for reporting on Implementation Plan progress.

Assess sustainability of the implementation plan and what additional supports will be needed to continue the plan during the next school year.

How Do You Know?

Review and Analyze Implementation Data

1. Have participants review and complete the chart on page 5 of the Participant Guide. (Areas of Adoption, How Do You Know?, What Else Do You Need?)

2. Using Inner-Outer Circles have participants align chairs or have participants face each other.

3. Participants discuss adoption, alignment, data collected, and where the implementation has been slow or stalled.

Rigor is a word that appears often in the Florida Standards.

It also appears in the Florida State Education Statute saying:“The mission of Florida’s K-20 education system is to allow its students to increase their proficiency by allowing them the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills through rigorous and relevant learning opportunities…”

At your table, discuss your definition of rigor and why it is important to your Implementation Plan?

What Is Rigor?

18

• “Rigor is creating an environment in which each student is expected to learn at high levels, each student is supported so he or she can learn at high levels, and each student demonstrates learning at high levels.”

Barbara Blackburn

• “Rigor is the goal of helping students develop the capacity to understand content that is complex, ambiguous, provocative, and personally or emotionally challenging.”

Richard Strong

• “Rigor invites engagement… When learners are engaged in something rigorous, they lose track of time… Learners who experience rigor feel encouraged, self-confident, and have a sense of accomplishment.”

Cris Tovani

Defining Rigor

19

R.I.G.O.R. Video1. Watch the short video about rigor. As you watch, use the activity

sheet on page 6 in the Participant Guide to take notes on the strategies necessary to increase rigor in the classroom.

2. After the video, discuss the following questions with your team and record your notes.

• What is rigorous instruction?• What is the role of rigor when it comes to implementing the

Florida Standards?3. As a team, come to a consensus on two strategies for increasing rigor

in the classroom that you would like to focus on at your school.

Comparison of SoC and LoU

Stages of Concern (SoC) addresses the emotional or affective side of change – people’s reactions, feelings, perceptions, questions and attitudes.

Levels of Use (LoU) has to do with behaviors and actions -

portrays how people are acting with respect to specified change.

Hall & Hord, p. 81

Stages of Concern, Levels of Use, and Innovation Configuration

• Stages of Concern (SoC) • How do you feel about “it”?

• Levels of Use (LoU)• To what extent are you doing “it”?

• Innovation Configuration (IC)

• What is “it”? How do we do “it”?

(Hall & Hord)

Questions to Guide You

• What does the innovation look like when it is in use?

• What would I observe in a classroom that is using the innovation well? (and not as well)?

• What will teachers and students be doing when the innovation is in use?

Used to develop a set of expected actions and behaviors for each person involved in a new program.

• Provides clear, and specific descriptions of what the practice should look like;

• Describes actions and behaviors that are ideal, acceptable, and unacceptable;

• Differs from rubrics in that it describes, not rates, a new practice; • Can change as the use of a new practice matures; and • Helps teachers who are new to a school understand expectations.

Activity 2: Using the Innovation Configuration Map to Monitor Progress

32

Innovation Configuration Video

1. Watch the video on the Innovation Configuration component of CBAM.

2. During the video, use the Activity Sheet on page 9 of the Participant Guide to write down key ideas regarding how the Innovation Configuration process and map can support monitoring the progress of your implementation plan.

3. After completion of the video, discuss the reflection questions.• How can a clear vision of an innovation serve as a road map to

successful implementation?• How might you use an IC for vision-building? To guide

implementation? For evaluation?

Resources to Sustain the Implementation

33

“Poor implementation, either because resources weren’t allocated or because thoughtful plans weren’t laid, is the surest way to kill a major reform effort.”

Sharing Resources to Support Sustainability

1. At your tables, discuss what resources you have found to be most helpful. Include resources from the Charter Project as well as other resources your team has discovered throughout the project.

2. In the Participant Guide on page 11, fill in the table on Activity Sheet 3a. Copy the table onto chart paper. List the resource name, website (if known), and benefits of the resource. Bullet a few keys ideas about each resource that your team has found beneficial and will sustain your implementation plan into the next school year.

3. Upon completion, place your charts on the wall and assign one team member to stand by your chart.

Conducting a Gallery Walk

1. Team members will take a gallery walk, viewing each team’s resource list. Bring Activity Sheet 3b: Note Catcher to record resources that would support your team’s goals.

2. If there are questions regarding the resources, the assigned team member will be available for clarification.

3. Place dots next to resources you feel would assist in sustaining the implementation.

4. Return to your groups to discuss new resources. Be prepared to share out.
