About this episode
We examine why educational practices often fail to stick in schools despite initial enthusiasm and training. The key insight is that sustainable implementation requires building systems where practices become embedded in school culture rather than being treated as temporary initiatives.• The implementation dip occurs when the "shine of the new" wears off and teachers must embed practices for the long term• Different teachers need different types of support – some need training, others coaching, mentoring, or collaborative relationships• Moving beyond compliance-focused implementation to helping teachers understand the purpose behind practices• Building systems means creating conditions where the practice becomes easier to do than not to do• Successful schools measure implementation by impact on student learning, not by teacher compliance• Creating systems that hold practices in place when inevitable pressures of the school year emerge• Connecting practices to outcomes helps everyone understand why implementation mattersRemember, you likely already have everything you need to make this work. Focus on building systems that will support you when things get challenging – that's when your system needs to be strongest.Has something in this episode resonated with you? Get in touch! We have released Spelling Success in Action 1, a catch-up program for phonics, early morphology, and orthographic conventions for years 3 to 8. This program can be used one-on-one, in small groups, or as a whole class and is built on what the evidence tells us is the critical knowledge students need for strong spelling and the type of instruction that makes learning stick.Learn more about this resource and order your copy at www.jocelynseamereducation.com Quick LinksJocelyn Seamer Education HomepageThe Resource RoomYoutube channelFacebook Page#jocelynseamereducation #literacy #bestpractice #earlyprimaryyears #primaryschool #primaryschools #primaryschoolteacher #earlyyearseducation #earlyyearseducator #structuredliteracy #scienceofreading #classroom #learning #learningisfun #studentsuccess #studentsupport #teacherlife #theresourceroom #theevergreenteacher #upperprimary #upperprimaryteacher #thestructuredliteracypodcast #phoneme #grapheme #phonics #syntheticphonics
