How do we do this in our school?• Use existing teams/committees as much as
possible
• Embed project activities into current initiatives (i.e., school improvement, safe schools, character education, etc.)
• Establish three levels of implementation, each with different functions
– School-wide
– Grade level
– Individual student

Implementation Science
Students cannot benefit from interventions they do not experience
– Training by itself does not work
– Policy change by itself does not work
– Financial incentives alone do not work
Implementation Science
• An intervention is one set of activities
• Implementation is a very different set of activities
The Work of Implementation
• Changing the behavior of adult human service professionals is hard work
• It requires a systematic approach to support behavior change of practitioners, volunteers, administrators, and policy makers
• It requires the application of Implementation Drivers
© Karen A. Blase & Dean L. Fixsen, 2004
What are Implementation Drivers?
• Implementation Drivers are mechanisms that help to develop, improve, and sustain one’s ability to implement an intervention to benefit students. (Competency Drivers)
• Implementation Drivers are mechanisms to create and sustain hospitable organizational and systems environments for effective educational services. (Organization Drivers)

• Communication beyond the district level, connection with state.
Internal• Focus on building capacity within
district and across school buildings.
• May serve as a district or building level coach.
• May provide support to team leaders to develop skills and capacity.
• May provide support to other coaches at the building level.
• Provide communication link between district leadership team and building leadership teams.
