Fidelity of implementation (implementation integrity) is the degree to which something is implemented as designed, intended and planned.  In terms of classroom instruction, implementation integrity refers to the delivery of instruction in the way that it was designed to be delivered.

Fidelity of implementation also addresses the integrity with which screening and progress monitoring procedures are completed, as well as the manner in which an explicit decision-making model is followed.
