Prepare infrastructure. Train core team. Develop implementation plan. Phase 3: Pilot (Months 7-9) Implement with small group. Gather feedback. Measure impact. Refine approach. Phase 4: Expansion (Months 10-15) Scale to additional teachers. Provide ongoing training. Establish support systems. Monitor and adjust. Phase 5: Sustainability (Months 16-18) Integrate into school culture. Establish maintenance routines. Build local expertise. Share learnings. Success Factors Leadership commitment is essential.
