Estela share and clarify the intended learning outcomes
1 minute

5. QFIC Review
Quality: With a high degree of skill, excellence, or effectiveness; implementing in ways that encourage high levels of participant engagement and that accomplish the goals. (Paint the picture of what you want to see-What?)
Fidelity: In accordance with the core components: research-based findings and/or guidance of the innovation. (The Steps–How?)
Tara review information and provide an example from your own school.
10 minutes

6. Each school will submit their QFIC by March 9th
QFIC Review
Intensity: With focus and commitment to providing participants with the recommended exposure to the components of the innovation. (time)
Consistency: In the same way over time, maintaining established standards of quality, fidelity, and intensity.
Each school will submit their QFIC by March 9th
Tara review information and provide an example from your own school.
3 to 5 minutes

7. Quality
The purpose is to make intangible concepts of quality accessible to teachers. 
When teachers are a part of the QFIC rubric development process, they will better understand what quality looks like for the product, process, or performance they will be working on.
Quality QFIC rubrics may stay in draft form for the duration of the implementation due to content revisions and refinement.
If teachers do not understand the rubric, they run the risk of inaccurately assessing their performance.  
Once we establish what components go into the quality section of the rubric, the next step is to articulate what it takes to achieve it.
Tara review information and provide an example from your own school.
3 to 5 minutes

14. School to School Visit Purpose
The purpose of the school visit is to promote professional learning framed within our continuous improvement structure. Through focused dialogue, our collective efforts and sharing of intangible assets we are able to improve practices that spur learning actions for both schools.
Administrators on the CIT work Team: Lisa, Kim, Lauren,
Jody, Barb and Cherryl
Lauren: Share the purpose and rationale for the school to school visit. The only difference this time around is the focus is on QFIC.

15. April S/S Dialogue Norms Complete the protocol
Through focused dialogue we will examine our current improvement practices to ensure alignment between the identified instructional strategy and QFIC as the assessment instrument. Dialogue includes an analysis of how QFIC is used to measure the instructional strategy for effectiveness including classroom walk through templates with embedded QFIC.
Norms
Complete the protocol
Contribute to substantive discussion
Stay focused; manage time well on CIP and discussion
By making our work public, school teams are exposing themselves to critiques they may not be used to. Please have an awareness of the tone and/or tenure of comments or questions
Lauren: Remind folks that they will complete a sign-in sheet like last time and CeAnn will send out an electronic survey. We will have the hardcopies ready.
