Provide refresher training after implementation begins, not only pre-adoption training¶

Strategy · All strategies
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The implementation notes identify a suggested improvement from the Floyd County context: "refresher training to be available once implementation began." This augments the standard model of one day of in-person training prior to adoption plus a half-day off-site session after a short period of use. The recommendation is to plan for ongoing training touchpoints during live use rather than front-loading all training before adoption.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Initial training: 1 day in-person before adoption and ½ day off-site after initial use

Constraints¶

• Suggested improvement raised in the Floyd County implementation context

Target Learners¶

• teachers implementing Pathblazer in elementary classrooms

Target Learning Goals¶

• sustained, faithful implementation of the Pathblazer reading and mathematics program

Related Strategies¶

• Support curriculum implementation with initial multi-day training plus ongoing onsite consultation during the school year
• Brief initial training plus follow-up courses and coaching for program implementation
• Implement Curiosity Corner with two initial training workshop days plus ongoing onsite coaching and support
