Abstract

Fidelity of implementation is the essential link between professional development (PD) experiences and changes in outcomes. Yet, as a field we have few measures available to directly look at implementation. In this poster, we present our preliminary work measuring teachers’ implementation of a research-based PD.

Description

In this poster session, we share a model for measuring fidelity of implementation. We explore the development of a tool targeting implementation, the triangulation with other measures, and the correspondence with outside variables. We hope to contribute a process that can be leveraged by other researchers evaluating the impact of PDs.

Presented at The University of Arizona
