Writing a Scale-up and Sustainability Plan for Statewide Pyramid Model Implementation

This original online workshop was 3 hours in length including 3 small group breakouts of 30 minutes each. The recording of the workshop has been edited to be 1 hour in length and can be used with the related resources as a guided workshop for individuals or groups involved in the statewide implementation of the Pyramid Model.

A Participants Workbook is provided that includes, agenda, objectives, links to all resources, slides and small group directions.

The objective of this workshop for State Leadership Team members is to support the development of a written scale-up and sustainability plan for statewide implementation of the Pyramid Model addressing all four essential structures:

  1. State Leadership Team
  2. Professional Development Network of Program Implementation Coaches
  3. Implementation and Demonstration Sites
  4. Data and Evaluation

The recording is 60 minutes with agenda items for small group work sessions for additional time allotments. The first 45 minutes of the recording gives context and rationale for sustaining and scaling the Pyramid Model as well as provides descriptions of the National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations (NCPMI) tools and resources related to statewide scale-up and sustainability and a related guided small group break out session.

The second 15 minutes describes more resources including a worksheet for developing a sustainability and scale up plan [ link to the worksheet] and provides for 2 small group breakout sessions for practice with and discussion of each tool and resource.

With 3 30-45 minute small group breakouts, the workshop is about 3 hours long. Small group breakouts could be longer.
