Implementation+of+EBP

Step 1: Form an interdisciplinary leadership committee (ILC)
>
 * members include the teacher-librarian, administration, and a representative from each major department
 * release time to work with two departments: 1 academic based, 1 applied skills based.

Step 2: Pilot the inquiry program starting with a small population of the school as determined by the ILC

 * example: all incoming grade 9 students science, all students taking Planning 10 (British Columbia), Careers/Civics (Ontario)

Step 3: Collect and collate evidence from the pilot project collaboratively

 * select appropriate resources from the EBP Tools Section of the wiki to collect evidence
 * note the trends, both positive and negative
 * attach new goals to trends to generate support for inquiry-based learning
 * reflect on growth and future directions

Step 4: Share evidence

 * present evidence and trends at staff meetings
 * gather feedback from the community
 * garner support for resources
 * share with district/board the evidence

Step 5: Develop a mentorship program

 * each experienced teachers (from ILC) mentors a new teacher in the inquiry process with the support of the teacher-librarian
