This session presents an illuminating case study of two schools that successfully implemented a new foundational reading skills curriculum through disciplined, data-driven approaches. We'll explore how these schools leveraged Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles to refine their implementation strategy and achieve measurable results. Key focus areas include: 1. Designing effective feedback loops to gather real-time insights from teachers 2. Conducting targeted walk-throughs to observe curriculum in action 3. Providing tailored professional development and coaching to support teachers adapting to new instructional methods 4. Using data to inform iterative improvements throughout the pilot process Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to: - Structure a curriculum pilot for maximum impact - Create and utilize feedback mechanisms that drive continuous improvement - Balance support and evaluation during the implementation phase - Make data-informed decisions to refine curriculum integration By the session's end, attendees will have a practical blueprint for piloting curricula in their context to ensure that it is viable for all students. You'll be equipped with essential questions to guide your process, tools for gathering and analyzing feedback, and strategies for documenting progress throughout your pilot journey.
