The Core Leadership Team (CLT) is comprised of individuals in each local program who will develop, guide, and monitor the implementation of Embedded Instruction. The team will manage the change effort by identifying and providing the support needed to implement Embedded Instruction practices across contexts. Core Leadership Teams form during exploration and continue to provide guidance to actively support implementation through all stages of implementation.
This is a small, skilled team with diverse perspectives and defined leadership. Common team functions include communicating across community partners, planning, problem-solving, ensuring training, collecting data, and analyzing data.
This Implementation Guide provides Pennsylvania Early Intervention Preschool Core Leadership Teams (CLTs) the resources, forms, and ideas to systemically implement Embedded Instruction for Early Learning© with fidelity. Using Implementation Science as a guiding framework, the CLT is engaged in an ongoing process of supporting implementation of Embedded Instruction using data-based decision making to guide implementation efforts and monitor outcomes.a
