which will be used by the Office of Planning and Research to create resources for districts and which you will receive a copy of. Again, nothing you say to me will be attributed to you or your district. Does this time still work for you? Great. I am going to start by asking you about your role in the district. TYPOLOGY OF PRACTITIONERS What is your role in the district? In your current role as _________, what work have you done with data, evidence, and research? How long have you been in this role? Prior to this, what if any other roles have you held? In your district, how many (if any) other people engage with data, evidence, or research? What are their roles? Now I’m going to ask you about how your district builds, uses, and shares evidence. BUILD: Has your school district ever partnered with an outside organization, such as a local university, to conduct a research study? Could you tell me a little bit about your experience with that process? Who conducted the research? What was the research question? How were the results of that research used in your district? Has your school district ever conducted research on its own? Could you tell me a little bit about your experience with the process? Were you trying to answer a particular question? How were data collected? How were data used? Who was involved with designing and conducting the study? Who interacted with the findings? USE: When your district is considering a new program or intervention, how does your district decide what to select? For example, if you identify that your third graders are not where you’d like them to be with their reading abilities and you are choosing from different literacy interventions, how do you decide which intervention would work best for your context? Are there personnel in your district who have this responsibility? When you implement something new, such as a new curriculum, intervention, or program, how do you check to see if it’s being implemented the way you intended? [building on their answer:] Could you give me a specific example of a time that your district has done this? [building on #7] How did you to see if it was getting the result you wanted? Is there a specific process in your district for this? Is there a designated individual or group who uses that process?
