Description¶

Step 5 directs leaders to "Analyze pilot data to determine whether the tool sufficiently addressed your targeted teaching and learning goals." Step 6 directs leaders to "Share the pilot results with critical partners, such as the school board, community partners, funders, teachers, and students, to collaboratively develop a comprehensive plan for expanded and/or long-term use of successful tools." Evaluation feeds a collaborative scaling decision.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Pilot data analysis against targeted teaching and learning goals
• Sharing results with critical partners including the school board, community partners, funders, teachers, and students

Constraints¶

• Scaling applies to tools the pilot shows were successful

Target Learners¶

• District and school leaders
• School boards
• Teachers
• Students
• Community partners and funders

Target Learning Goals¶

• Determining whether edtech addressed targeted teaching and learning goals
• Planning expanded or long-term use of successful tools

Affordances¶

• Edtech Procurement Framework Six Steps

Related Strategies¶

• Analyze & Inventory: use cross-departmental data analysis and an inventory of existing interventions before buying new edtech
• Conduct ed-tech pilots by articulating the instructional need, setting clear product-review criteria, involving educators in planning, supporting educators throughout, gathering data from all users, deciding from data, negotiating purchasing options, and sharing results
• Design & Plan: build a professional learning and measurement plan to monitor implementation fidelity and evaluate impact
• Mobilize & Implement: provide professional learning throughout the pilot and use real-time data dashboards to keep usage aligned with dosage requirements
• Monitoring Progress
• Discover & Decide: establish evidence-based selection criteria and instructional alignment in an RFP process to select edtech for priority learner populations
• Eleven critical actions executed through a Plan-Do-Reflect-Revise cycle
