10 Month Implementation Consultation

10-Cycle Consultation Model

Cycle Structure (each cycle repeats for 10 cycles)

1. On-site Observation & Data Collection (Day 1)

   • Purpose: Gather real-time evidence of practices, interaction patterns, and implementation fidelity.

   • Activities:

     • Classroom/worksite walkthroughs and focused observation(s)

     • Collection of artifacts (lesson plans, student work, schedules, assessment samples, logs)

     • Short interviews or brief surveys with staff, students, or stakeholders as appropriate

     • Quantitative data snapshot (attendance, assessment scores, behavior incidents, participation metrics)

     • Field notes and time-stamped evidence tied to agreed focus areas

2. Tailored Feedback & Consultation Session (within 48–72 hours)

   • Purpose: Deliver concrete, evidence-based feedback aligned to goals and standards.

   • Activities:

     • Feedback report summarizing key strengths, challenges, and illustrative evidence

     • Prioritized recommendations (3–5 specific focus points)

     • Modeling/demonstration of targeted strategies when applicable

     • Collaborative problem-solving with staff to adapt recommendations for context

     • Immediate coaching for individuals or teams (mini-lesson, micro-teaching, role play)

3. Reflection & Feedback Loop (end of consultation meeting + ongoing)

   • Purpose: Ensure practitioner voice, buy-in, and refinement of supports.

   • Activities:

     • Guided reflection prompts for staff (what went well, what to adjust, student impact)

     • Collection of staff feedback on usefulness and feasibility of recommendations

     • Adjustments to the plan based on practitioner input and emergent data

     • Establish short check-in points (email, scheduled 15–20 minute virtual check-ins)

4. Action Plan / Steps / Checklists for Implementation (for the next 3–4 weeks)

   • Purpose: Create a clear, actionable road map with measurable markers.

   • Components:

     • SMART objectives for the 3–4 week window

     • Weekly implementation checklist (specific behaviors/strategies to enact)

     • Data collection plan (what to collect, who collects it, frequency, and how to report)

     • Quick coaching tips and troubleshooting guide

     • Success criteria and indicators for progress

     • Responsible parties and timelines

5. Ongoing Support Between Cycles (weeks 1–3/4)

   • Purpose: Maintain momentum and address barriers in real time.

   • Activities:

     • Short, scheduled check-ins (virtual or phone)

     • Email summary and reminders of the checklist

     • Targeted micro-coaching or resource sharing

     • Mid-cycle data snapshot if needed to inform next visit

6. Preparation for Next Cycle

   • Purpose: Optimize next on-site visit for impact.

   • Activities:

     • Review implementation data submitted

     • Revise focus or deepen next cycle’s targets based on progress

     • Share pre-visit agenda and observation focus with site leaders

Cycle Timeline Summary

• Week 0: On-site observation & data collection (Day 1)

• Within 48–72 hours: Tailored feedback session & coaching

• Weeks 1–3/4: Implement action plan; ongoing support and check-ins

• End of week 3 or 4: Gather implementation data and prepare for next on-site cycle

Deliverables per Cycle

• Observation notes and evidence log

• Written feedback report with prioritized recommendations

• Action plan with SMART objectives and weekly checklist

• Data collection templates and instructions

• Reflection prompts and staff feedback summary

• Brief coaching resources (scripts, lesson/model excerpts, rubrics)

Recommended Metrics & Data Points

• Fidelity indicators (frequency of targeted practice, percentage of classrooms implementing strategy)

• Student outcome measures (formative assessment scores, engagement indicators)

• Staff practice measures (self-assessment, peer observation ratings)

• Implementation barriers and resource needs log

Roles & Responsibilities

• Consultant: conduct observations, provide feedback, model strategies, maintain documentation, and adjust coaching based on data

• Site Leader: facilitate scheduling, support staff participation, remove barriers, monitor progress

• Practitioners/Teachers: implement strategies, collect data, participate in reflection and feedback

• Data Coordinator (optional): compile and submit data between cycles

Quality Assurance & Continuous Improvement

• Use a simple rubric across cycles to rate implementation fidelity and impact (e.g., 1–4 scale)

• After cycle 5, conduct a mid-point review to adjust overall goals and priorities

• At cycle 10, produce a cumulative report summarizing progress, sustained practices, and next steps for long-term implementation and scaling

Example 3-Week Action Checklist (sample item set) Week 1

• Implement strategy X in 3 lessons; collect student work samples

• Use Entry/Exit ticket for quick formative data each day

• Teacher self-rating at
