Implementing the Pyramid Model in Early Childhood Settings: Supporting All Children’s Social Emotional Development
The focus of this session will be on implementing Pyramid Model practices to support the inclusion of all children in an early childhood classroom. The Pyramid Model is a framework for organizing research-based practices for use in early childhood classrooms to promote social-emotional competence and prevent and address children’s challenging behavior. The Pyramid Model includes the implementation of universal practices to support the active social-emotional learning and behavior of all children, secondary practices to address the needs of children who are at-risk, and tertiary or individualized practices for children who present the most persistent challenging behavior. Pyramid Model practices are research-informed interactional and instructional support practices for young children and reflect the developmental nature of young children’s social-emotional competence and challenging behavior. Further, Pyramid Model practices are designed to be implemented in the variety of classrooms (e.g., Head Start, childcare, public Pre-K) that serve young children with and without disabilities.
- Understand the importance of social emotional development as a domain of learning and as an instructional context.
- Be able to implement the Pyramid Model in early childhood classrooms.
- Be able to provide coaching to support the effective implementation of the Pyramid Model.
