Tuesday June 22, 2010 Coaching for Implementation of Effective Practices
Coaching for Implementation of Effective Practices START/NPDC Summer Institute Summer 2010
Many Levels of Coaching • State Coaching Model across Projects • START Coaching Model • Building Coach Process • Individual Coaching Process
State Coaching Model (under development and influenced by the Michigan Implementation Network and State Grant Project work)
Michigan Implementation Network • The Michigan Implementation Network (MIN) is an initiative to develop a systematic framework for applying implementation research in order to: • Improve the fidelity of effective practices • Enhance the sustainability of implementation efforts • Scale-up successful programs and practices
“In theory there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice, there is.”Jan van de SnepscheutComputer Scientist
Research to Practice Gap • Emergency medicine • Substance abuse treatment programs • Identifying cures for diseases • Preventative medicine • Maternal and child mortality (Gates) • And of course, education
Research to Practice Gap aka Effective Practices to Implementation
Michigan Implementation Network Two Levels of Activity • Simultaneous work on two closely related yet distinct levels of activity. • Interventions • Implementation • Implementation-level activity is considered to be distinct from intervention-level activity. Michigan Implementation Network (MIN) www. cenmi.org/min
Effective intervention practices + Effective implementation strategies = Positive outcomes for students & families Michigan Implementation Network (MIN) www. cenmi.org/min
Implementation Science IMPLEMENTATION Effective NOT Effective Student Benefits Effective INTERVENTION NOT Effective (Institute of Medicine, 2000; 2001; New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, 2003; National Commission on Excellence in Education,1983; Department of Health and Human Services, 1999)
2 – 4 Years Stages of Implementation • Exploration • Installation • Initial Implementation • Full Implementation • Innovation • Sustainability Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman, & Wallace, 2005

Effective Practices Leadership Initiative (EPLI) Trainer and Coaching Model
EPLI is Designed to…. • Increase local ACCESS to information and training in ASD • Improve IMPLEMENTATION of effective practices for students with ASD in order to improve OUTCOMES • BUILD local district CAPACITY to educate students with ASD • Increase use of TEAMING and PROBLEM-SOLVING processes • Increase EFFECTIVENESS of professional development
It “STARTS” with training… What kind of training? Who needs it? Once they get it, how do we support it?
What kind of training? • Systems Level • E.g. Infrastructure, attitude, philosophy, resource allocation, staff roles, goals • Practice Level • E.g. modifications, visual supports, peer support, applied behavior analysis • Team based, intensive
Making Professional Development EffectiveLang & Fox, 2003 • Traditional professional development without follow up to support implementation yields a 5-10% implementation of strategies • With follow up, that number can rise to 75-90% • EPLI trainer/coaches will provide the follow up support to ensure implementation of effective practice for students with ASD
How do we deliver EPLI? • Trainer/Coaches • Deliver content information through training • Recruit and train building coaches • Coach Leaders • Serve in a coach / consultant role • Coordinate district / ISD coaching activities • Work collaboratively with Trainer/Coaches • Building Coaches • Serve in a coaching role at the building level
What is a Coach? • We don’t see coaches as “experts” rather they have expertise. . . • In the CONTENT • In the PROCESS • In the TEAMING necessary to make it happen Isn’t this a “consultant” ? ? ?
Coaching requires you toCHANGE YOUR FOCUS • from crisis to CAPACITY BUILDING • from an expert model to one of teaming, collaboration, and problem solving • From old to new thinking about supporting students with ASD
Too Many Students for the Old System • Can’t adequately meet the needs in old system • Always in crisis / no time for proactive strategies • No time for collaboration to improve services in the classroom or build capacity
Moving Toward a 3-Tiered Approach Intensive Individualized Intervention TIER 3 Targeted Intervention TIER 2 Universal Intervention TIER 1
Application to Students with ASD Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders?
Application to Students with ASD Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders can function at any level of the triangle
Quick Reflection Are your buildings using a 3-tiered approach? • For all students? • For students with ASD?
Benefits of Establishing a Coaching Structure • Build systems that can withstand change • Increase effectiveness and efficiency of resources / time / staff • Improve implementation of evidence-based practices with fidelity • Build capacity to educate ALL students • GOAL: IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOME
