Professional Development to Practice State Implementation Specialist Purpose & Role

Professional Development to Practice Purpose The State Implementation Specialist supports the regional implementation of high quality, fidelity-driven professional development through a process of coaching and feedback.

Professional Development to Practice What is HQPD?  High Quality Professional Development is measured using compiled, research-identified indicators on the observation checklists for High Quality Professional Development Trainings and High Quality Implementation Coachings.  High quality is defined as receiving no more than one indicator not observed within each heading of the HQPD Training Checklist or receiving no less than 11 of the 12 items on the Coaching Checklist.

Professional Development to Practice SPDG Requirements (1) At least 20% of SPDG-delivered trainings and coachings is observed by SPDG Implementation Support Personnel (external grant evaluators at KU) and/or State Implementation Specialists to ensure that the delivery meets the criteria for high quality professional development. The SPDG grant evaluators will be involved in recording fidelity of implementation at both the process and content levels.

Professional Development to Practice 20% Defined 20% of all training and 20% of all coaching sessions provided by the RPDC to a CW building that addresses any of the areas of Collaborative Work will be observed by the CW-State Implementation Specialist.

Professional Development to Practice Recommended Feedback Process 1.SIS observes training/coaching and records fidelity notes. 2.SIS enters observation notes to online form to be forwarded to PD Provider. 3.PD Provider self-reflects using the HQPD Training or Coaching checklist and makes notes. 4.PD Provider compares SIS notes with self-reflections. 5.The SIS & PD Provider discuss observation notes and collaboratively develop next steps for delivering HQPD or Coaching experience. This feedback conference should occur “later but timely”--not in the training context and not while learners are present.
