During the Implementation Stage, the developed teaching and learning materials or programs are applied to their intended site. In this phase, it is important to ensure that systematic classroom management is maintained to achieve performance objectives.

Use the example of the Health Kitchen Program. The situation is like this.The initiative has planned a3-week healthy cooking class for children (and their parents as learning partners) at risk of high obesity. The program is going to be delivered as an in-person cooking class (3 weekly sessions, each session preparing for one type of a family meal for 2 hours). Miami-Dade County will deliver its first program at its community resource center, recruiting 20 teams of a kid and a parent.Depending on its effectiveness, the program will be scaled up to the statewide family engagement programs.

As the leading program designer, you understand that implementation is a key phase in the ADDIE model in which you need to run the final field testing and prepare the instructor, the student, and the learning space. You haven't been to the Dade County's community resource center yet. You only know that there will be program facilitators; the lead facilitator is the chef, and the other four staff members have diverse backgrounds--a food and nutrition expert, a fitness instructor, and two general volunteers).

What do you need to do for the implementation phase? Plan for a small test run (participants, data collection method(s), and questions you want to examine); a short train-the-trainer program; a checklist to be distributed to learners; and a checklist to be shared with the community resource center for the learning space set-up.
