A Schoolwide Solution
Champions for a Culture for Learning
The Situation
Schools invest in initiatives and professional development, but the ideas and learning rarely become expectations. Leaders set goals that are not accomplished successfully and expectations that are not established or followed fully. Teachers attend workshops and learn new strategies but return to classrooms and continue doing what they have always done. Without a clear framework and process for translating goals and professional learning into schoolwide practice, initiatives lose momentum, improvement stalls, and school cultures become stagnant.
The Solution
Create champions within your organization who will lead and support the implementation of school initiatives and transform them into sustainable schoolwide expectations for teaching and learning.

A Method and Model for Making Initiatives Expectations
Education Momentum Framework™
The Education Momentum Framework™ (EMF)™ is the instructional leadership method and model developed and used by Maverik Education to transform school initiatives into sustainable schoolwide expectations for teaching and learning.
The Education Momentum Framework™ synthesizes the research, ideas, and theories of Everett Rogers (Diffusion of Innovations), Geoffrey A. Moore (Crossing the Chasm), Malcolm Gladwell (The Tipping Point), Adam Grant (Think Again), and Simon Sinek (The Infinite Game) into a structured method and model for saturating and sustaining school initiatives as schoolwide standards of practice.
Schools and organizations that implement the Education Momentum Framework™ build the leadership capacity needed to move initiatives from introduction to expectation. Staff become champions. Champions become coaches. Coaches build a culture where the initiative is not a program to be managed but a standard of practice that defines how the organization teaches, leads, and learns.
