What Do We Mean by
Implementation?
A specified set of activities designed to
put into practice an activity or program of
known dimensions.
Processes are purposeful and defined in
sufficient detail such that independent
observers can detect the presence and
strength of these “specified activities”
Programmatic Sustainability:
What Is It?
Programmatic Sustainability refers to
the capacity of a program, agency or
community to implement, maintain, and
continuously improve the skills and
abilities of early childhood staff (over time
and with turnover) to use evidence-based
practices.
Pre-requisite: A defined set of practices
to be implemented by staff
Pre-Requisite: Defining “IT”
Pre-requisites:
The “it” must be operationalized whether it
is:
An Evidence-Based Practice or Program
A Best Practice Initiative
A Systems Change Initiative
Operationalize
Part of Speech: verb Definition: to define a
concept or variable so that it can be measured or
expressed quantitatively

Insufficient Methods
Implementation by laws/ compliance by itself does not
work
Implementation by “following the money” by itself does
not work
Implementation without changing supporting roles and
functions does not work
Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman, Wallace, 2005
Insufficient Methods
Diffusion/dissemination of information by itself does not
lead to successful implementation
Training alone, no matter how well done, does not lead
to successful implementation
Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman, Wallace, 2005

“What” AND “How”
To successfully implement and sustain
the use of the Pyramid Model you need to
understand:
The intervention framework (What - the
Pyramid Model)
AND
Effective implementation and sustainability
frameworks (How)
TACSEI Logic Model for Implementation & Sustainability
Population of Concern
Children Birth through 5
with or at risk for delays or
disabilities including
children with challenging
behavior
Intervention (the WHAT)
Strategies
Competent use of the “Pyramid
Model” framework and
intervention strategies over
time and across staff
Intervention
Outcomes
Improved social and
emotional competence,
behavior & relationships
among children, their
families & other caregivers
