The Pyramid Model
The Pyramid Model is an evidence-based framework that promotes healthy social and emotional development as a way to address challenging behavior. This model is a tiered approach built on the foundation of an effective workforce that provides universal supportive environments and nurturing relationships to all children. The secondary tier focuses on targeted social-emotional teaching to children who need additional support in developing social-emotional skills. The top tier targets those children whose needs have not been met through the previous tiers and need additional support through individualized interventions.
