overview
The goal of Phase III is to support teachers as they use the curriculum to inspire great instruction and increase student learning. At the leadership level, the focus is on listening to teachers and observing practice with a goal of continuously improving teacher support. Phase III does not end after the first year – this is a continuous improvement journey that never ends.
Successful early implementers:
- Had a plan for implementation (see Phase II)
- Followed the plan and did the work
- Listened carefully, with openness to adjusting the plan
- Watched the work in action at every level to understand what was working and what was not
- Gathered together to step back and adjust the plan
- Shared the adjustments transparently in the spirit of continuous improvement
