Planning Checklist for Monitoring Fidelity of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs)

The Planning Checklist for Monitoring Fidelity of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) is a basic fidelity monitoring checklist developed by the NCSMH in collaboration with the American Institutes for Research that can be used to plan for the monitoring of fidelity for a specific practice or program. The intention of this checklist is to provide a quick reference for different considerations during the planning process, including the identification of fidelity monitoring tools, determining how often to collect fidelity data, setting an "acceptable" benchmark, and monitoring and documenting changes or adaptations that are occurring in the school setting.
