| Pyramid Model Video Resources | Two amazing new training videos have been created to highlight pyramid model practices in action in high fidelity toddler and preschool classrooms. These videos were collaboratively produced by the Montana Head Start Collaborative Office, the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, Early Childhood Services Bureau, the Pyramid Model Consortium, and the Bal Swan Children?s Center. Titles and labels have been added throughout to call attention to the environment, specific routines of the day, and discrete teaching practices that support young children?s social emotional development. In addition, a table of contents is provided at the beginning so professional development specialists and teachers can easily navigate to specific segments of the video to consider how they may alter their classroom environment or teaching practices to better support the social emotional competence of children in their care. | Website |
