Vermont Integrated Instruction Model (ViiM)Highlights August 2012
Vermont’s Integrated Instruction Model (ViiM) builds regional training/coaching capacity to support teams of educators in the use of evidence based educational practices within a multi-tiered framework.
This integrated system of instruction and intervention supports improved student academic and behavioral outcomes. (current focus = K-8 behavior and reading)
An innovative systems approach . . . . to educating all students.
NCSU ViiM Pilot Sites SY2012-13 15 schools in 5 supervisory unions/districts LNSU LSSU • North Country SU – 5 sites • The St. Johnsbury School • Lamoille North SU – 3 sites • Lamoille South SU – 1 site • Addison Central SU – 3 sites + 2 preparing ST. J SD ACSU
The Cascade Feedback Loops State Providing feedback and data on implementation efforts Regional Training/Coaching District Team Supervisory Union/District Leadership Team Support Loops School Based Leadership Team Providing supports for effective practices implemented with fidelity Building Staff, Students and Families
Critical Components of ViiM Across All Tiers of Support Leadership, Climate, and Culture Fidelity of Implementation Universal Screening & Progress Monitoring Academic Support Behavior Support Data-based Decisions & Problem solving Evidence-based Practices Multi-tiered Model

Highlight: Data and Data Systems • Data Collection, Entry & Sharing • Role of Data Analyst • Types & Levels of Data
Building Sustainable Systems for Data-Based Decision Making • Data Collection • Training (Initial and Re-Training) • Accuracy Checks for Administration & Scoring • Scheduling of Assessments • Data Entry • Time for Data Entry • Accuracy of Data Entry • Training for Data Entry (Initial & Re-Training) • Data Sharing • Training in Interpretation of Data (Initial & Re-Training) • Ensuring Timely Access to Data • Formal & Informal Data Sharing
We want to gather information that tells us: How well we are implementing: Fidelity Data and whether what we’re doing is working: Student Outcome Data
Implementation Fidelity Data Are we doing what we said we would do, when, and how we said we would do it?

Highlight: Implementation Science • There are stages of implementation. • There is a difference between implementing a practice and the practice itself.

Exploration Installation Implementation Full Operation Innovation Sustainability Stages of Implementation • Awareness of need • Explore options • Decide whether to proceed with innovation
two sets of activities (intervention-level & implementation-level)and two sets of outcomes (intervention outcomes & implementation outcomes) http://www.fpg.unc.edu/~nirn/implementation/01_implementationdefined.cfm
What skills and knowledge are needed at the different cascade levels? State Implementation Team Regional Training & Implementation Coaches TEAM Implementation fluency SU/District Leadership Team School-Based Leadership Team Innovation fluency Building Staff , Students & Families
Highlight: Leadership Teams • Letting it happen, helping it happen, or making it happen? • Braiding
