WHAT WORKS
Quality Improvement Process
A Critical Lens on Evidence-based Practices
Thanks to the internet, cell phones, tablets, and apps, we have access to everything we need to keep us off-task (don’t worry, reading this blog is very much on-task behavior). Also, with thanks to the internet, cell phones, tablets, and apps, teachers have access to evidence-based practices (EBPs – the good stuff) in their classrooms and on-the-go.
Toolkit
Quality Improvement Process Toolkit
- Golden Circle Tools: The Why, How and What of the Quality Improvement Process: The concept of the Golden Circle, developed by Simon Sinek and articulated in this TED Talk is used by QIP Teams to ensure that their work is driven by a meaningful Why, or student outcome, and identifies Hows and Whats for the school to implement that are directly aligned to that student outcome.
- RSE-TASC Explicit Instruction Walk-Through Tool: The RSE-TASC Explicit Instruction Walk-Through Tool is both a teaching tool and a data collection tool. It identifies research-based practices that have been proven to be effective for all students, but particularly effective for students with disabilities, English Language Learners, and student of poverty.
