Implementation Stages Planning Tool

Setting up programs and practices to be implemented with fidelity, produce positive outcomes for students, and to sustain over time requires strategic, stage-based planning. Identifying the implementation stage for a program or practice allows ISDs and Districts to improve the quality of support they provide to schools and staff. One tool that can be leveraged to support this intentional thinking is the Implementation Stages Planning Tool (ISPT). By using the ISPT to take a stage-based approach to implementation, ISDs and Districts can identify the current stage of implementation, select targeted stage-based activities to move a program or practice toward full implementation, and determine stage-based outcomes.
