Implementation teams are different from other types of teams: they are responsible for the change — and therefore the impact — you wish to make. Implementation teams must be skilled in design and management. Most important, the team needs to have built collective efficacy … the knowledge that — together — they can overcome challenges and lead change efforts that have positive impact.

This interactive session will walk participants through equity considerations across implementation pathways. We will provide practical guidance on how to effectively incorporate equity theories, models, and frameworks while you are implementing. Our goal is for participants to leave with important considerations to help you develop a deeper understanding of how to embed equity in your implementation work without treating it as an add-on.

Implementation = Change. Change involves the people in the organization.

Change is hard. Stakeholders on many levels and in many roles require the motivation and capacities to enact and sustain a change. This presentation will overview the RMC2 readiness model and share multiple methods (both quantitative and qualitative) of assessing readiness.

Do your experiences, context or research knowledge lead you to plan for professional learning or implementation first? How does implementation thinking support professional learning (PL) design and practice? Why is context so important in connecting the dots between both PL and Implementation? Come share and learn how supports for professional practice were designed with an implementation lens and delivered through a comprehensive professional learning plan and measured to ensure our efforts resulted in impact.

This interactive session, led by Prof. Jonathan Sharples, will help schools implement evidence-informed approaches in line with their vision for school improvement. Delegates will learn how to use evidence to identify improvement priorities and select new approaches. We will consider how to implement programmes and practices through careful planning and preparation, so they have the best chance of success. Come ready to learn, engage and be challenged!

This plenary panel will discuss strategies for building implementation literacy and building an implementation culture to promote effective implementation of evidence-based practices. Specific topics include Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).

Active and effective implementation requires a set of 'active ingredients' combined with thoughtful planning and preparing.

What do good education systems look like in the midst of a global pandemic, and how do you maintain forward implementation despite numerous challenges and seemingly endless changes? We will share how one Oregon school district has tackled these questions.
