Reminders and Next Steps
Reminder: Upcoming Leader Community of Practice (CoP) Opportunities
The SFI Implementation Team is excited to announce the opportunity to join a community of practice for leaders to collaborate, reflect, and share experiences. Sign up for Leader CoP Sessions and please invite other district and school leaders who would like to participate.
The SFI Executive Leader CoP sessions provide collaborative learning for district executive leaders implementing HQIM. It is a platform for leaders to engage in short bouts of new learning from a featured keynote speaker, while also experiencing focused small-group discussions.

Executive Leader CoP Sessions
- March 13, 2025, 9:00–10:30 a.m. - Focusing on Continuous Improvement and Sustaining Implementation
The SFI School Leader CoP sessions allow school and program leaders to continuously improve HQIM practices on campus while building their capacity as instructional leaders. Leaders who attend these sessions will foster resiliency in their schools as they are equipped to support the strong continued use of HQIM for students. Each session will be delivered twice to provide flexibility in the leaders’ attendance.

Spring dates are on the calendar! Spots fill up VERY fast, so please sign up soon! A couple of notes regarding Learning Labs:
-
Filling out the form is a request for a visit. Visits are not guaranteed, and are dependent on group size, district capacity, etc.
- If you sign up for a visit, be sure that you are in frequent conversation with the Innovator district if changes need to be made.
