Rewrite in your own words. Filter program choices through independent evidence (peer-reviewed meta-analyses or What Works / independent RCTs) rather than vendor claims. Track fidelity and dosage (PD hours, coach-to-teacher ratios, observation rubrics) as part of any rollout. Measure both short-term and long-term outcomes, and disaggregate results by subgroup (ELs, SWD, socio-economic status) so we know who benefits and who does not. Pilot with an evaluation plan (staggered rollouts / matched comparisons) before scaling district-wide, so local evidence informs decisions
