The Pyramid Model provides a multi-tiered framework of practices for promoting the social, emotional, and behavioral skills of children from birth to five. The Pyramid Model includes: universal classroom practices to promote social-emotional learning and prevent challenging behavior; universal and targeted instructional practices to promote social, emotional, and behavioral skill development; and classroom interventions to support children with social, emotional, and behavioral needs.
This section provides ideas, resources, and illustrations of strategies that might be used to implement Pyramid Model practices and promote young children’s social and emotional competence.
