Setting up programs and practices to be implemented with fidelity, produce positive outcomes for students, and sustain over time requires strategic, stage-based planning. Identifying the stage of implementation for a program or practice allows ISDs and Districts to improve the quality of support they provide to schools and staff. One tool that can be leveraged to support this intentional thinking is the Implementation Stages Planning Tool, or ISPT. By using the ISPT to take a stage-based approach to implementation, ISDs and Districts can identify the current stage of implementation, select targeted stage-based activities to move a program or practice towards full implementation, and determine stage-based outcomes.
