New to EBISS? Let us introduce ourselves!

The following three Training Videos will allow us to introduce EBISS, EBISS Scaling UP, and Implementation Science

The principal goal of EBISS is the improvement of academic and behavioral student outcomes through the development of district capacity and the efficient use of district and building resources. The Oregon Department of Education and their partners at the Center on Teaching and Learning have provided professional development and technical assistance to Oregon school district leadership teams to implement tiered interventions for academics and behavior since 2007. Through the sustained application of a blended model of Response to Intervention (RTI) district staff is able to meet the academic and behavioral needs of every student in their schools.

Summary of this webinar:

In this third webinar of the series, Kathleen Jackson explains how the drivers stress the importance of using data to identify the barriers and facilitators to implementation, so a Facilitative Administration can provide the supports required to strengthen implementation of your chosen evidence based practice. The importance of developing and maintaining strong instructional leadership between district and school administration is explained. This relationship focuses on the current level of staff practice in each building and knowledge of the resources and supports schools need, given their unique challenges. 

At the end of the webinar participants developed one action item to strengthen the relationship between district and building administration to support staff competency.

Stages of Implementation webinar: An Implementation Science Framework Recording is Available for Viewing here.

Summary of this webinar:

In this first webinar of the Breadth series, Kathleen and Erin went over the Stages of Implementation with a focus on Exploration. Our hope was that this webinar would help your team identify the Stage of Implementation you are currently in, with reference to your chosen evidence-based practice, and hopefully, we met this goal last week. 


Something to remember and that we talked about in more detail on November 7th is that the stages are not linear and your team may find attributes from more than one stage that you have in place or that you are missing. It will be important to consider the Stages of Implementation and ensure "Readiness" so your team can create or continue to create a collective commitment, district-wide, to build capacity for implementation fidelity.

Establishing the Why: Open Post-Training Discussion Thread

We hope you had a really good training day yesterday. We sure did, thank you for participating.

Many of you discussed the importance of establishing why we do this work with all staff. Here is a link to a powerful Ted Talk by Simon Sinek on the importance of establishing the why.
