Sometimes the problem isn't the problem itself.

Has your system spent time and money adopting a new program/practice/policy only to find out the problem stubbornly remained in place?

Don't feel bad; this is all too common in education systems across the globe. We need to pay attention to the "how" as much or even more than we do to the "what" we will do. Problem identification is only a part of the process. Often, schools/districts stop there and move straight to implementation, which leads to adopt and abandon of practices and policies, and we end up with a graveyard of good intentions.

When we don't let implementation and improvement science guide the implementation of the selected practice/strategy/policy, it often doesn't yield the socially significant outcomes it was intended to produce. Ask yourself these questions...

Did we execute our implementation through stages?
Did we foster collective efficacy?
Did we collaboratively develop an implementation plan that was clear, concise, and comprehensible?
Did we monitor our implementation efforts?
Did we have a plan to spread and sustain the practice?
