Curriculum implementations don’t fail with a bang; they fade with a whimper. And since implementation of high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) is a gradual process, it can be challenging to know whether you’re making slow progress or no progress at all. If your implementation isn’t going according to plan, how do you know it’s off track, and what can you do?
This edWebinar equips you to recognize common implementation problems and the strategies you need to execute a turnaround. Curriculum implementation is best understood as a change management process that requires long-term strategic planning and thoughtful execution. A problem with one part of your plan can impact the success of your entire initiative. Leaders need to know the key actions that drive effective implementations, how to diagnose problems with each aspect of their plan, and how to adjust course when necessary. In this edWebinar, we equip you to:
- Recognize the signs that your implementation is at risk
- Diagnose the reasons your implementation might be failing or stalling
- Determine the leadership moves necessary to get your implementation back on track
Join us for a deep dive into the nuanced practice of curriculum implementation. Let’s build the systems to ensure your implementation succeeds and students thrive. View this session and get your implementation back on track! This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 school leaders and district leaders.
