This form will guide you through key takeaways, reflections on the Implementation Stages and Core Competencies and encourage application to your current work. There is a Level 2 Practice Rubric embedded with each question of the Reflection Guide to support your thinking.

Remember, as with Level 1, it is not important that you follow every link within the reading (we will dive deeper into those topics later). However, you will want to pay careful attention to the role of Teams in each stage of implementation. Teams are critical to ensure the context for good implementation to happen. Be sure to download and review this handout on teams that is linked in the Overview.
