Starting a pilot program is more than a trial—it’s a chance to see firsthand how Everyday Speech addresses common challenges educators face, like managing large caseloads, fostering collaboration across teams, and tracking student progress effectively in your district.

With a clear timeline and a focus on best practices, our pilot program is designed to give educators the tools, resources, and support they need to make meaningful progress. Here’s what you can expect at every stage of the process, along with tips for maximizing success.

1. Pilot Timeline: Key Phases and Milestones

An Everyday Speech pilot runs for 8 weeks, with educators actively using the platform throughout the program. Here’s what happens during each phase:

Planning:

• Our team collaborates with your team to set clear goals and align on pilot objectives.
• We provide live training and on-demand resources to onboard participants effectively.
• Accounts are activated, and educators receive clear guidance on how to begin using the platform.

Piloting (8 Weeks):

• Educators engage students with Everyday Speech tools, including video modeling, interactive games, and lesson plans.
• Our team offers ongoing support through regular check-ins to address questions and share best practices.
• Participants collaborate to maximize engagement and effectiveness.

Building Momentum:

• Everyday Speech collects feedback through surveys with pilot participants.
• Mid-pilot updates provide early insights and celebrate wins to maintain momentum.
• At the end of the pilot, we help share engagement and educator feedback to support admin buy-in and decision-making.

2. Best Practices for a Successful Pilot

Start with Clear Goals: Define what success looks like for your district. Are you aiming to increase collaboration, improve lesson engagement, or streamline intervention planning?

Involve Key Stakeholders Early: Engage both educators and admins from the start to ensure alignment and buy-in. Host kickoff meetings to set expectations and establish communication channels.

Support Educators Throughout: Provide ongoing training and resources, including live check-ins and responsive support. Encourage participants to share their experiences and collaborate with peers.

Track and Share Progress: Focus on gathering insights that reflect educators’ experiences with the platform. Highlight how Everyday Speech reduces prep time and supports their daily work. Share qualitative feedback, like how teachers perceive the tools’ value, to keep everyone aligned on the pilot’s goals.
