NCPMI builds capacity within states to implement and scale-up the Pyramid Model with fidelity. This state capacity building approach has been used in over 20 states for adoption of the Pyramid Model and 4 states for adoption of the DEC Recommended Practices. Our state implementation and scale-up approach is guided by the State Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ) and incorporates what we know about stages, steps and key elements of implementation science, including exploration, installation, implementation and scale-up at both the state and program levels.
Our approach also includes 4 essential structures:
- a cross-sector state leadership team;
- a professional development network of Program Implementation Coaches;
- high fidelity demonstration sites; and
- data decision-making.

Roadmap #6 – Statewide Implementation of the Pyramid Model
This document is a guide – a “Road Map” – for implementing widespread use of the Pyramid Model for Promoting Social and Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children and part of a series of guides from NCPMI. This particular Road Map was produced in collaboration with the Pyramid Model Consortium (PMC).
Statewide Implementation Guide
The guide is based on results and evidence from the multi-year Pyramid Model implementation initiative in 25 states. It includes tools, materials, and examples derived from the Pyramid Model and ECTA’s DEC Recommended Practices implementation technical assistance (Smith et al., 2017). This guide is a collaboration between NCPMI and the ECTA Center.
