Does your Pyramid Model Site have teaching teams who have reached the Maintaining Phase of Fidelity?
We know it takes hard work and dedication to reach the Maintaining phase of fidelity! If you currently have teaching team members who are there, we want to recognize them with a Certificate signed by the MN Department of Education Commissioner! It's a simple process:
Contact your External Coach/PDF to indicate your desire to nominate staff members.
Your External Coach/PDF will share the link to a Google Survey for your site's Administrator or Data Manager to complete for each teaching team being nominated.
Nominations will be processed by MNCoE in February and July of each year. (You may submit nominations all year long)!
Continue to nominate additional teaching team members as they reach the Maintaining phase of fidelity!
Celebrate! Celebrate! Celebrate!

This BOQ Guidance Document provides details on how to choose a rating for each BOQ indicator. This tool can be accessed by clicking on the link to the right entitled "Pyramid Model BOQ Resources."
Highlight of Austin's Celebration: Our leadership team, in years past, had difficulty completing the BOQ during the timeframe of our meeting. This year, due to restrictions on in-person meetings, we knew this had potential to become even more challenging. Schedules for all of our staff are extremely tight - so we wanted to find a way to make a virtual BOQ completion as effective as possible. Click on the image to the left to access a SMORE detailing how Austin completed the BOQ virtually and efficiently.
