The Pyramid Model is an evidence-based prevention/intervention framework created to prevent challenging behavior and promote healthy social and emotional development in young children, from birth through first grade.

This learning opportunity allows participants to better understand practices that connect supporting positive relationships, engaging environments, intentionally planned social & emotional teaching strategies, and individualized interventions to enhance the social and emotional competence of young children.  Participants learn examples and concrete strategies for using recommended practices daily with infants, toddlers, young children, and their families.

This course provides participants with access and supports to engage with 18 hours of online e-Module interactive content.  6 additional hours of online reflective coaching will support individuals to self-assess, plan, and implement strategies and practices in their early care and education work. A Reflective Coach will provide guidance on the implementation of the strategies and practices and request evidence of implementation plans within a 3-month time period. All participants will receive information to create their login prior to the start date.

Participants should expect to work on the course throughout the timeframe rather than all at the end and should expect to spend a full 24 hours completing the online and coaching sessions.  Participants will receive 24 hours of continuing education after completing both the E-modules and reflective coaching.
