Implementation Citywide Implementation Framework

Citywide Implementation Framework & Team Routines

As Learning Partners grew from a 21-school pilot in spring 2014 to more than 200 participating schools by 2016–2017, intensive facilitator support alone could no longer carry the model. I synthesized program expectations, leadership roles, and an Improvement Science–based meeting routine into a shared operating system that helped schools work from a common structure while adapting the work locally.

Part 1 — Program Framework

The framework defines the common model and expectations teams needed before they could adapt the work to their own context.

Part 2 — Leadership Roles

Role definitions make ownership explicit so facilitation, communication, and follow-through do not depend on one person.

Part 3 — Sample 90-Minute Team Meeting Agenda

The agenda turns the improvement cycle into a repeatable 90-minute routine for examining evidence and deciding what to test next.
