How did the educator extend the initiative beyond the initial group?

• A. By discontinuing the activity
• B. By teaching the activity and techniques to other program staff
• C. By keeping it a secret
• D. By using it only in individual tutoring

Answer: (B)

Extending an initiative means spreading it beyond the first group so more students can benefit and the approach becomes part of regular practice. Teaching the activity and its techniques to other program staff does exactly that: it builds capacity, preserves the method as it scales, and supports consistent implementation across different settings. When staff beyond the initial participants are trained, the initiative can reach more students and become sustainable over time. In contrast, discontinuing the activity stops growth, keeping it secret prevents others from using it, and using it only in individual tutoring keeps it isolated and hard to spread.
