Has Your Implementation Team Considered using the BOQ Cultural Responsiveness Companion?
Has Your Implementation Team Considered using the BOQ Cultural Responsiveness Companion?
The EC-BOQ Cultural Responsiveness Companion was created by NCPMI as a resource for coaches and teams implementing the Pyramid Model to improve the fit of their Pyramid systems with the needs of children and their families. This is not an additional fidelity of implementation measure, but rather an action planning resource that teams can use to improve their implementation. Teams may use this tool during initial Pyramid Model implementation in order to build cultural responsiveness into systems from the beginning, or teams can use it after initial implementation to enhance equity within existing systems and structures. The tool is aligned with the Benchmarks of Quality Indicators.
