States and programs, we want your stories!
Submit an impact story and share with the world the outcomes of your Pyramid Model work. NCPMI will design and publish your story on our website, social media channels, and newsletter.
What are Impact Stories?
Impact stories are short (3-4 pages) descriptions of how an effort results in outcomes. They should focus on one aspect of the work related to the Pyramid Model. They are written in a simple and engaging way using plain language. The audience might include new programs or schools, new members of leadership teams, local and state policymakers, or potential funders.
Potential impact stories may share the outcomes associated with:
- program-wide implementation
- family engagement
- addressing suspension and expulsion
- community-wide implementation
- intervention implementation
- partnerships
- using data
- practitioner coaching
- equity
- culturally sustaining practices
- all the excellent work you do daily as you bring the Pyramid Model to children, their families, and communities
