the curriculum implementation journey

Rivet Education has identified five stages of instructional materials implementation, building upon the National Implementation Research Network’s four phases of implementation science.

instructional materials implementation tool

The Instructional Materials Implementation Tool is a roadmap for each phase of HQIM implementation, outlining key actions and corresponding success criteria that help district leaders answer the question, “Are we on track?”

Leaders can use the tool to:

  1. Preview and understand the entire instructional materials selection and implementation journey.
  2. Identify which phase of implementation you are in, regardless of the year of implementation, using the quick checklist at the beginning of each phase.
  3. Determine the strength of your implementation and readiness for the next phase.
