How to Analyze & Use
the Data
• Sum components correctly implemented & divide by
total number of components
– E.g., 9 components implemented correctly / 14 total
components = 9/14 = 63% fidelity
• Look for patterns in the components not being
implemented correctly across time or implementers.
– E.g., Are we always leaving out fluency practice?

Determining Fidelity…
Ensuring fidelity/integrity at all levels:
– district leadership process
– district improvement process
– curriculum review and adoption process
– professional development plans
– integrity checklists
– school and classroom walk-throughs
How are you feeling about your
general understanding of Fidelity?
I am more confused now about fidelity
than when I got here.
I have about the same understanding
of fidelity as when I got here.
I have a better understanding of fidelity
than when I got here.

FIDELITY OF INSTRUCTION
What is Instructional Fidelity?
• Ensuring we are using instructional
pedagogy & strategies defined by the
district/school/ team.
– Evidence based instructional strategies
– Defined instructional cycle/process
– Defined standards for specific instructional strategies
(e.g., 40 opportunities to respond
in 10 min)

based on Danielson Model
Component
3a: Communicating
with students
Unsatisfactory
Basic
Teacher’s oral and written
communication contains
errors or is unclear or
inappropriate to students’
cultures or levels of
development.
Teacher’s oral and written
communication contains
no errors but may not be
completely appropriate to
students’ cultures or levels
of development. It may
require further elaboration
to avoid confusion.
Proficient
Teacher communicates
clearly and accurately to
students, both orally and
in writing.
Communications are
appropriate to students’
cultures and levels of
development
Distinguished
Teacher’s oral and written communication is clear and
expressive, appropriate to students’ cultures and levels
of development. It also anticipates possible student
misconceptions.
Evidence:
Pre-corrected for anxiety around the presentations at end of unit (anticipating possible misconception); clear directions on where to find the
activity; clear visual displays;
Comments:
3b: Using questioning
and discussion
techniques
Teacher makes poor use of
questioning and discussion
techniques, with low-level
or inappropriate questions,
limited student
participation, and little
true discussion.
Teacher’ use of
questioning and discussion
techniques is uneven, with
some high-level questions,
attempts at true
discussion, and moderate
student participation.
Teacher’ use of
questioning and discussion
techniques reflects highlevel questions, true
discussion, and
participation by all
students.
Questions reflect high expectations and are culturally
and developmentally appropriate. Students formulate
many of the high-level questions and assume the
responsibility for the participation of all students in the
discussion.
Evidence:
Questions included what, where, but also included why, explain; how questions ; case study activity - groups had to collaborate together to decide
on a problem identification priority behavior
“How will you collect additional information”; What information do you need?; students asked a few of their own low level questions to the
instructors
Comments:
Didn’t observe participants formulating own high level questions
3c: Engaging students
in learning
Students are not at all
intellectually engaged in
learning, as a result of
groupings, activities or
materials inappropriate to
their cultures of levels of
understanding, poor
representations of content,
or lack of lesson structure.
Students are intellectually
engaged only partially in
significant learning,
resulting from groupings,
activities or materials
culturally or
developmentally
appropriate to only some
students, or uneven lesson
structure or pacing.
Students are intellectually
engaged throughout the
lesson in significant
learning, with appropriate
groupings, activities and
materials, instructive
presentations of content
and suitable lesson
structure and pacing.
Students are highly intellectually engaged throughout
the lesson in significant learning, and make material
contributions to the representation of content, the
groupings, activities, and the materials. The lesson is
adapted as needed to the needs of individuals, and the
structure and pacing allow for student reflection and
closure.
Evidence:
case study activity - groups had to collaborate together to . . .– all students were actively engaged in this activity; teacher-led lecture format with
perky pace
Comments:
Might consider increasing wait time – a few times only gave about 2-second wait time before answered it for them

1. Consensus
•
•
Is there consensus that assessing & improving fidelity
is a good idea?
If not, must build this first . . .
Both of Jennifer’s districts started by creating a team of
stakeholders that met regularly to jointly . . .
• create the fidelity tools that would be used in their schools
• Determine how who will do the walk through is decided
• Develop norms for what happens with the data & criteria
• Develop norms for how the data is shared
Example of Fidelity Tool Developed by
Stakeholder Group
Example of hybrid tool created to fit a specific
district, with stakeholder input

3. Implementation
•
District implements the fidelity process
Jennifer’s Lessons Learned:
“Go slow to go fast” - don’t try to implement too much too
fast, or will loose consensus
As an example:
1. Start instructional rounds just within a GLT, they each share
something that they’re really proud of and each teacher on the
team observes each other at their best
2. Next, work up to folks outside of GLT doing rounds
3. Do rounds on environmental factors
4. When trust is built, begin rounds on instructional indicators (don’t
do all indicators at once – don’t observe before you’ve taught the
indicator)

Key Ideas in Tier 1 Curriculum & Instructional Fidelity
•
Fidelity can be assessed at all levels (district level to
classroom or even individual student level) and in multiple
areas (curriculum, instruction, assessment, process)
•
Use existing checklists and other curriculum/instruction
documents that capture key components of the fidelity
you want to assess
•
Consider a curriculum fidelity tool that captures alignment
of CCSS, depth and breadth and scope and sequence of
those standards and not just materials being used
•
Consider an instructional fidelity tool that captures
evidence based strategies with a defined standard (to what
level that instructional strategy should be observed)
•
Include fidelity data in team decision making in addition to
student outcome data
How are you feeling about coaching
Tier 1 Fidelity?
I have less confidence in coaching Tier
1 Fidelity than when I got here.
I have about the same confidence in
coaching Tier 1 Fidelity as when I got
here.
I have more confidence in coaching Tier
1 Fidelity than when I got here.

Team set a goal for next benchmark or end of year
Team analyzed sub-groups data and other data (e.g.,
item analysis; attendance; ODRs; walk throughs/fidelity
checklists; instructional planning forms) to determine
factors that may impact their current performance
Team used guiding questions to discuss improvements
to Tier 1 instruction for all students (e.g., questions
about fidelity of curriculum/instruction; student
engagement; staff professional development needs;
classroom management; allocated instructional time;
grouping/differentiation)
Team created an action plan reflecting agreed upon
changes/modifications to Tier 1 instruction for all
students
The action plan connects to the goal and to the needs
identified through data and guiding questions

Key Ideas in End of Year Data
Meetings

building, and grade/department to evaluate progress of plans
put into place during the school year, determine overall
effectiveness of Tier 1 instruction, and to recycle through
problem solving process as preparations begin for next school

Ensure your infrastructure allows for vertical team discussions
at least once a year at the end of the school year
•
Should not just occur for building transitions, but from grade
level to grade level, beyond individual student discussions, to
orient next team to cohort’s strengths and weaknesses, to
provide continuity of effective instructional strategies and
alignment of curriculum.
