Supporting teacher implementation of standards based practices

Manikham, Renee The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand that teachers need different levels and forms of support and training during the implementation of Standards Based Practices provided by the administrator at the school level. The research was driven by this guiding question: 1. How can administrators prepare and support teachers to authentically implement Standards Based Practices? a. What components of Standards Based Practices are necessary for teachers to understand and implement? b. What forms of professional development will benefit teachers during the implementation process? Data was collected from a sample of five participants using surveys, professional support engagement, observations, and interviews. The researcher simultaneously collected and analyzed data to create a professional support framework that can be replicated during any initiative implementation process. There were four key findings from the data collection process. First, the support given to teachers needed to be immediately applicable to their classroom context. Second, the teachers needed to find the topic relevant and meaningful in order to have high understanding and evident implementation. Third, the administrator needed to be on-site and easily accessible to the teachers for in time questions and support. Finally, a spiral review of the previously focused topics was evident to the continuous success of the implementation process.
