Over the past six months, the OMTF developed and implemented a multi-phase plan to train teachers and providers in using the new instrument. The goals of this training were to teach the participants how to do child observations and to familiarize them with the new instrument. Following this training, the OMTF distributed the new instrument, and met with all staff to explain its purpose and how it would be used. Additional technical assistance was provided when necessary. When the piloting period was completed, the new instrument was phased into all programs in January 2001.
