Systems that Support Implementation

System 1: Communication

Blended

Distance

Effective Communication System for Students, Staff, and Families

  • Class communication procedures are established(e.g., newsletter, weekly summary of classwork, class letters, behavior charts; data folders)

  • Clear expectations of communication are established (e.g., beginning of the year, weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc)

  • With dual systems of communication relative to distance learning, there is ongoing and intentional feedback and clarification

  • Evidence of student and family input for establishing individualized communication plans (e.g., team meetings)

  • Understood timelines for teacher/student/family communication for responses

  • Ongoing opportunities for student/family feedback

  • Evidence that all staff (paraprofessionals/related service, etc) are aware of plans and are communicating prior to lessons

  • Ongoing feedback, training and coaching with families/students on digital tools/learning materials

  • Where applicable and individual team meetings are held, there is evidence of use of agendas, notes, outcomes, next steps

System 2: Data, Learning Outcomes and Feedback

Formative and Summative Assessment

  • Lesson plans reflect formative and summative processes to assess student learning

  • Evidence of short and long term goals (and data collection system/completion towards goals)

  • Evidence of use of CCI/PDSA Cycles

  • Utilizing progress monitoring tools and benchmark data as expected

  • Adjustments made based on assessment data


Behavior and Academic Data

  • Behavior and academic data collected for individuals (IEP goals, BIP) and classwide

  • Student data are accessible

  • BIPs are revised to reflect virtual learning and monitored for fidelity

  • Evidence of data collection- raw data, summarized data, student folders, PDSA


Classroom Learning System

  • Evidence of implementation of CLS

  • Data for individual/ whole group learning are accessible and/or referred to throughout instruction

  • Students monitor progress on both short and long term goals


Effectiveness of Instruction

  • Treatment integrity/fidelity checks completed on instruction and behavior intervention

  • Social validity is assessed- regularly capture feedback from students, families and staff

  • Data teams meet for problem solving and to monitor progress/inform adjustments needed

  • PDSA is used to to assess instructional impact


Student Feedback

  • There is evidence of regular, frequent, explicit feedback in the virtual environment:

    • Student to Teacher Feedback

    • Teacher to Student Feedback

    • Peer to Peer Feedback

  • There is evidence of feedback provided both within lessons and post-lessons to address accuracy, to coach, to clarify a concept.

  • Immediate feedback provided- correct/incorrect

  • Paraprofessionals are trained on how to give feedback to students
