Bringing Instructional Consultation to Scale

Disengagement: A Neglected Aspect of the Consultation Process

“…For many consultees, the consultation may have been a significant positive relationship in their work setting. A positive relationship like that developed with the consultant is rewarding and may motivate the consultee to continue the consultation (Rosenfield & Gravois, 1996). After all, the consultant most likely has served as a consistent and confidential sounding board and the provider of intellectual stimulation as well as interpersonal and social rewards.…”

Using Kindergarten Entry Data to Guide Teachers' Skills, Beliefs, Self-Efficacy, and Practices through Instructionally Focused, Data-Driven Consultation

“…Note. Instructional consultation principles were adapted from Rosenfield (2013) and Rosenfield, Gravois, and Silva, (2014). Best practices of data-driven consultation were surmised from Dimmitt, Carey, and Hatch (2007), Halverson and colleagues (2006) and Slavin and colleagues (2011) …”

“…The author of this dissertation (referred to as Consultant 1) and a fellow masters-level graduate student pursuing a doctoral degree in clinical psychology at the University of Virginia (referred to as Consultant 2) served as the consultants. Consultant 1 designed the protocol based on a crosswalk and synthesis of best practices in instructional (Rosenfield, 2013;Rosenfield et al, 2014) and data-driven (Halverson et al, 2006;Slavin et al, 2011) consultation models as shown in Table 1. This process revealed the following four steps for IFDDC:…”

“…Furthermore, IC principles have been demonstrated to affect teachers' beliefs about instruction (Rosenfield, 2008;Rosenfield, Gravois, & Silva, 2014), thereby providing an avenue through which to affect teachers' beliefs about data-use practices. By combining these two models, we created a consultation model aiming to build teachers' skills in beliefs around, and self-efficacy for using assessment data to inform their instructional practice: instructionally focused, data-driven consultation (IFDDC).…”

“…The present school-based, consultee-centered consultation was created from literature on instructional (Rosenfield, 2013;Rosenfield, Gravois, & Silva, 2014) and data-driven consultation (Berndhardt, 2003;Slavin et al, 2011;Wayman & Jimerson, 2014). By drawing on the best practices from both fields, this protocol was created to ensure consultants are intervening in ways that have proven effective in classrooms.…”
