Implementing What Works: A Framework for Lasting School Improvement Target Audience: General Education Teachers, Teacher Leaders, & Leaders This class focuses on how to create sustainable, measurable change in school improvement efforts. While schools frequently adopt new initiatives, many produce limited results due to unclear focus, weak implementation, or inconsistent monitoring. Participants will examine why improvement efforts often stall and how to design systems that lead to lasting impact. Drawing on the research of John Hattie (education researcher) (2024), participants will learn to use effect sizes to prioritize the strategies that have the greatest influence on student achievement. High- impact practices such as feedback, formative evaluation, prior knowledge, teacher clarity, self- reported grades, and collective teacher efficacy will be explored through the lens of practical application. Using an implementation science framework, participants will move through the stages of: • Exploration – Analyze screening tools, achievement data, and current practices to determine needs. • Preparation – Select evidence-based strategies with strong effect sizes and develop a focused action plan. • Implementation – Apply high-impact practices with clarity and fidelity. • Full Implementation/Sustainability – Monitor progress, refine practices, and build structures that sustain long-term student growth. By the end of the course, educators will be equipped to lead focused, data-driven school improvement efforts that produce meaningful and lasting gains in student achievement.
