The Schoolwide Integrated Framework for Transformation (SWIFT) employs six technical assistance (TA) practices that support an initial transformation process while simultaneously building system capacity to sustain and scale up equity-based inclusion in additional schools and districts over time. This paper explains these individual practices and how SWIFT weave them together for improved student outcomes. The practices are referred to as: (1) Visioning; (2) Data Snapshots; (3) Priority and Practice Planning; (4) Resource Mapping and Matching; (5) Transformation Teaming; and (6) Coaching and Facilitation.
