Oklahoma’s SPDG leads an interactive Fidelity Friday session showcasing how they embed fidelity tools and coaching supports across three levels: educators, districts, and internal project staff. This session offers real-world strategies for streamlining fidelity measurement and promoting coherence across MTSS initiatives.
Presenter: Alexa Hudak, M.Ed., Program Manager – OK SSIP/SPDG
This session focuses on an adaptive intervention coaching model, AIM Coaching. AIM Coaching was designed to provide coaches with systematic guidance on how to use teacher skill and will data to support teachers' school-wide implementation of a set of evidence-based comprehension building practices (i.e., PACT Plus) in middle schools. AIM Coaching has been implemented in two federally funded grants and has evidence of promise for improving teacher and student outcomes.
During this session we discussed how typical approaches to monitoring fidelity may be incomplete when implementing intensive interventions. Dr. Zumeta Edmonds offered considerations for different stages of the intervention process, and provided information about free resources available through the National Center on Intensive Intervention.

This webinar, part of the SPDG Director’s Webinar series on Coaching, explores Data-Driven Instructional Coaching Model (DDICM), an evidence-based coaching framework designed to support interventionists in implementing effective early reading interventions for K-3 students with or at-risk of reading disabilities.
This session focused on recent developments in measuring two educational innovations: Integrated MTSS (I-MTSS) and systems coaching. As I-MTSS research continues to grow, schools across the country have become more aware of this evolution of MTSS. Dr. Pierce shared implementation bright spots and common challenges schools have faced in implementing I-MTSS with fidelity. She also summarized approaches to measuring systems coaching, highlighting one state’s effort to develop and use a systems coaching fidelity measure.
This session delved into coaching as a vital driver for successful implementation, grounded in research and practical insights from the National Implementation Research Network (NIRN). Participants explored how coaching strengthens competency, builds capacity, and sustains implementation efforts by developing coaching systems, aligning service delivery plans, and effectively collecting and using data. Additionally, participants were introduced to a new Coaching System Template tool recently developed by SISEP to support and guide this work.
The webinar featured repeat breakout sessions from the 2024 SPDG National Meeting, providing insights into collaboration and evaluation. Please see the following for session descriptions and find the links to the recordings below.
