How do educators sustain K-12 district initiatives? Teaching and learning initiatives, despite being well-intentioned, often struggle to gain traction due to limited teacher acceptance or inconsistent program fidelity, so much so that many are familiar with the concept of "initiative decay." Even the most promising initiatives can deteriorate due to staff turnover, leadership transitions, the introduction of new programs, and a gradual decline in enthusiasm. By applying the 10 strategies presented in this article, the authors successfully restored fidelity to Thinking Maps, Kagan Cooperative Learning, and a few other core initiatives and paved the way for a successful rollout of a writing program: (1) Understand the "why" behind initiatives; (2) Limit the number of initiatives; (3) Set clear goals; (4) Get leaders on board; (5) Strengthen professional learning; (6) Build in ongoing coaching and mentoring; (7) Use observations and walkthroughs to assess progress; (8) Address areas of resistance; (9) Be prepared to pivot and adjust; and (10) Celebrate successes.
