Full implementation means the District Team has executed its scaling up plan (developed at the end of the initial implementation stage) including identifying, onboarding, and training new site staff and adding new site representatives to the District Team. Research from the National Implementation Research Network tells us that when 50% or more of practitioners are implementing evidence-based practices with fidelity on a regular basis and with good outcomes, it is likely sites have changed and are providing routine staff supports for the full use of those practices. Over time, the new practices will become standard and business as usual in the district. Keep going! To ensure sustainability of outcomes, data collection (including fidelity), supports for implementers, and continuous improvement cycles are ongoing.
