Professional learning in implementation science in the educational setting is an ongoing, dynamic process that focuses on building the knowledge, skills, and capacities needed for the successful and sustainable implementation of educational initiatives. Grounded in the NIRN (National Implementation Research Network) implementation science model, this professional learning begins by building the leadership team''s capacity to understand and apply key concepts, including implementation drivers, fidelity of implementation, and sustainability. Leaders and educators engage in targeted professional development to deepen their understanding of the core components of effective implementation, including the role of staff competencies, organizational supports, and data systems for monitoring progress.

Drawing from Iowa Department of Education guidance, this workshop will guide school teams through the essential components required for your fall Consolidated Accountability and Support Application (CASA) submission.
Together, we will translate best practices and recent legislative changes into your school’s context. We’ll address required TAG program components like program goals and performance measures, identification procedures that use multiple criteria, both objective and subjective; and acceleration policies. By the end of the day, your team will be equipped to submit a high-quality program plan and will leave with aligned handbook materials ready to better serve your gifted students.
