Road Map
The purpose of building a Roadmap is to:
Plan the process.
Plan the timeline.
Plan for stakeholder engagement and communications.
Instructional Framework
Developing an Instructional Framework is an important step toward making a district's vision for teaching and learning a reality. An Instructional Framework grounded in RBIS provides a common language, establishes a set of shared expectations, and creates an environment where teachers can collaborate to share best practices. By utilizing the framework, districts can improve the overall quality of instruction and ensure that students have access to an equitable, on-grade-level education through the adoption of HQIM.
Strong Foundations Planning LEAs will develop either a Literacy or Math framework with the help of an Approved Provider/ESC. There is no required template for the Instructional Framework, so take a look at the resources below to help inform this work.

Fictional LEA Instructional Framework
While the Instructional Framework is the major deliverable for Strong Foundations Planning, the Roadmap and Framework Rollout Plan are important bookends to the Strong Foundations Planning process.
Building a Roadmap supports a district team in mapping out a plan and timeline for developing and implementing an Instructional Framework, and the Framework Rollout Plan involves conducting a current state analysis and a gap analysis in preparation for developing an impactful rollout of the Instructional Framework. What good is a framework if it isn't rolled out and implemented by all LEA stakeholders?
See below some examples of the Roadmap ➡️ Instructional Framework ➡️ Framework Rollout Plan trajectory from past participants. For even more exemplars of the SFP deliverables, check out the LEA Playbook.
