Now that they have developed a task analysis for the POW writing
strategy, the implementation team is ready to create a fidelity

00:00:09,380 --> 00:00:18,390
measure. They begin by selecting their methods of data collection as
well as the individuals who will supply that data. They choose to

00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:28,360
collect observational data and teacher self-reports of fidelity.
Beginning with the observational measure, the team examines the

00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,690
items on the task analysis.

00:00:30,690 --> 00:00:39,800
Although these items seem to include all of the essential steps and
are a good start for an observational measure of fidelity, the team

00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:47,540
would like to add some items on quality to address how well each
teacher is implementing the steps. They review their materials on

00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:57,440
SRSD for ideas about how to assess the quality of implementation of
the POW writing strategy. Using this information, they add several

00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,210
items related to the quality of implementation.

00:01:01,210 --> 00:01:06,640
The team then decides that a three-point scale is sufficient to rate
fidelity.

00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,970
These new items are then incorporated into the existing observation
checklist.

00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:16,460
The team members also want to create a teacher self-report
checklist.

00:01:16,460 --> 00:01:25,580
They find that with a little re-writing, the observation checklist
is easily transformed into a self-report checklist.
