If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door. -Milton Berle
Is it best to cover one QLI/QTP a month in order to introduce all of them in one year? There is no “right way” to implement QLIs and QTPs. The best way to do this work is to use your data and determine what is needed first in order to narrow your focus. It is better to spend more time developing ownership and a deep understanding, finding and exploring the connections within and/or between. Some sites are focusing on just one QLI or QTP, exploring the interconnectedness of the strategies within. Some sites are implementing two or three QLIs or QTPs at a time, looking for just a few strategies across that address the data and are complementary to each other.
Where can I go to see QLIs and QTPs in action? Check out the QLI/QTP Video Resource Library hosted by Academics Through Agency.
I am new to QLIs and QTPs---where do I start? Begin your study of QLIs and QTPs by watching the introductory videos and exploring the slide decks. You might also want to complete “The What, When, and Why of QLIs and QTPs: A Self-Paced Course”, available on Professional Learning. How do I fit the QLIs and QTPs into my already busy schedule? There are many supports available for implementing QLIs and QTPs. Depending on what it is you are trying to accomplish, you can attend the short (one hour) professional learning courses for site leaders or you can send teachers to professional learning courses for educators. Another great way to fit the QLIs and QTPs into your schedule is to tie them to the work you are already doing. For example, you might build in the connections between QLIs/QTPs and the books your staff is already reading. You might tie the QLIs to the High Reliability Schools work your staff is already engaging in. Essentially, you can tie the QLI/QTP work you are doing to literally any other learning in which you and your staff are engaging. Also, you can model and explicitly name them for your staff during staff meetings, site professional development, or PLCs. Let us know if you need a thought partner!
