This manual, one of seven related documents, provides step-by-step guidance in decision-making to help school officials implement a newly adopted program. Part 1--preimplementation--looks at the people, resources, and processes necessary for effective implementation planning. Part 2--implementation--outlines a sequence of steps and tasks for actually getting the program started. Both parts contain checklists to help implementors keep track of activities and schedules.
