TSLP Implementation Plan Planning Pages S/CBLT Name: ABC Elementary District/Literacy Line: ABC ISD Age/Grade Level: K-5 Use the questions in italics to guide your planning. Record your responses in the spaces provided. Narrowing the Focus Component: Effective Instructional Framework
Which Action Step relates most to your current needs and priorities? Which Action Step will act as the greatest lever for improving support for students? Action Step: E1 Implement a system for using data to inform instruction and set goals for all learners using
the Response to Intervention (RtI) framework
Current implementation level: A Which Indicator(s) will be the focus of your work? (1) Establish a schedule and expectations for data analysis meetings.
(2) Assess needs for and plan evidence-based PD to support the implementation of RtI, including data
analysis.

What actions will you take in implementing your plan? 1. Establish expectations for data meetings
2. Develop agenda for data meetings
3. Model agenda with all data meeting teams, and begin to facilitate implementation
4. Identify professional development (PD) needs of staff related to data use
a. Attend data meetings to determine staff needs (utilize the DORA observation tool)
b. Collect summary of data from literacy coaches (remove any identifying detail to preserve
teacher-coach relationship)
c. Conduct interviews with teachers to capture what they find useful related to data use and
1 TSLP Implementation Plan what they consider to be a barrier
5. Research and identify PD concepts to match identified staff needs
6. Schedule professional development
d. Determine delivery method for each PD
e. Determine appropriate follow-up steps for all PD
Defining Expected Outcomes How will the activities you’ve planned lead to improved support for students? Providing clear expectations for data analysis meetings will include the application of that analysis in
planning instruction. When teachers have the guidance and professional development for data analysis and
application, they will be expected and empowered to differentiate their instruction to meet student needs.
How will you know if your implementation has been successful? What do you expect to see staff/students doing that will indicate success? Short term
• Teachers will begin to follow the model (agenda) provided for data analysis meetings
• Professional development that is tied to identified needs among the staff is scheduled
Long term
• Teachers will differentiate their lesson plans according to their findings in data analysis meetings
• Students will receive instruction that is differentiated according to their needs in all classrooms Identifying Challenges and Support How will you support implementation, monitor progress, make adjustments, and ensure sustainability? Supporting implementation
Campus-based leadership team (CBLT) members will support the plan by emphasizing data analysis and use
of data for instruction in their interaction with other staff members, such as through collaborative planning,
grade-level meetings, staff meetings, the staff newsletter, and other opportunities as they arise. The literacy
coach, Mr. Green, will make a specific point to incorporate data-based decision-making discussions into his
individual work with the teachers. The CBLT members assigned to visit grade-level data meetings to collect
data for needs assessment will continue to work with those grade-level teams throughout the following year,
modeling and monitoring the use of the data analysis agenda and procedures that are developed and presented
to staff. The principal, Ms. Jackson, will rotate to different data meetings, making sure to visit each gradelevel team every three months.
Monitoring progress and making adjustments
The CBLT will continue to meet weekly to report their progress and problem-solve as needed. Once the data
meeting expectations have been rolled out, “Data Use” will become a standard discussion item at each
leadership team meeting. CBLT members will support teams in real time as needed and will brief the CBLT
about the most recent data meeting they attended, including feedback from teachers. The team will
collaboratively identify successes and difficulties. The CBLT will determine possible solutions for the
difficulties and develop plans for necessary adjustments.
Ensuring sustainability
Sustainability will be facilitated through the development of consistent routines (e.g., the creation of a
standard agenda for data meetings, the consistent reinforcement of data-based decision making by the literacy
coach, and the ongoing discussion of data use during CBLT meetings). New staff will be trained on the data
2 TSLP Implementation Plan analysis process and expectations. The CBLT will monitor the effectiveness of the implementation of these
routines, both in real time (at data meetings) and over time, to evaluate its impact on instructional practices
and student outcomes.
What do you anticipate as potential challenges? What support is needed? Potential challenges Support to be provided • CBLT knowledge of data use/analysis procedures
• Time to study
research/resources collected;
additional PD for CBLT on data
• Disconnect between Tier I instruction and intervention
use/analysis procedures
support (Tier II and Tier III)
• Input from intervention
specialists when designing
• Teacher discomfort or misunderstanding of CBLT visits to
expectations and protocol
data meetings
• Principal’s direct
communication with staff to
address concerns
Communicating the Plan How will you communicate your plan to school staff? The principal, Ms. Jackson, will give a “big picture” overview to the staff, including the identified Action Step
and Indicators and the major steps in the plan. She will explain the data collection that will occur in the needs
assessment phase, assuring staff that the data meeting visits are not evaluative and that data will be used only
to help inform the next steps in planning and providing support and professional development.
Once the data meeting expectations and agenda have been developed, the principal will meet briefly with staff
to introduce the expectations and procedures to everyone. CBLT members will model the procedures, guide
grade-level teams, and provide ongoing support as needed.
Based on the needs assessment, professional development will be scheduled through December 2014. A
complete schedule will be delivered to teachers before the end of the school year and revisited at the start of
the next school year through staff meetings and grade-level team meetings.
3 TSLP Implementation Plan Plan Summary S/CBLT Name: ABC Elementary District/Literacy Line: ABC ISD Age/Grade Level: K-5 Summarize and record your plan here. General Information Component: Effective Instructional Framework Indicator(s): (1) Establish a schedule and expectations for
data analysis meetings.
Action Step: E1. Implement a system for using data to inform
instruction and set goals for all learners using the
Response to Intervention (RtI) framework. (2) Assess needs for and plan evidence-based
PD to support the implementation of RtI,
including data analysis.
Current implementation level: A
Rationale for selection: Over the past two years at ABC Elementary School, an increasing number of students have been
performing below grade-level literacy expectations. Although a schedule for data meetings is in place,
these meetings have not translated into improved student achievement. Members of the campus-based
leadership team (CBLT) report witnessing inconsistent application of data analysis into instructional
practice. Based on this plan, the CBLT will collect information on current data meeting practices to
inform a needs assessment; based on that assessment, professional development will be planned and
scheduled.
The CBLT will also establish expectations and select or adapt a research-based procedure for data
analysis meetings. By assessing needs, establishing effective data-use routines, and supporting data-use
practices through professional development and ongoing guidance, ABC Elementary School expects to
increase teachers’ effective use of data to (1) differentiate instruction for students’ individual literacy
needs and (2) make informed decisions about students needing supplemental (Tiers II/III) instruction.
Effectively utilizing data is expected to lead to higher student success.
