Making the connections

I have such great pleasure in taking up the position of Teaching Pyramid Facilitator with Kurrajong Early Childhood Intervention Service. This  position has been created to provide FREE direct support to ECEC services to further support and enhance inclusive practices for all children.

Although this role is new,  the model has been extensively rolled out in several US states over a number of years, providing us with rich research and resources on which to learn and grow.

The Teaching Pyramid is a model for supporting social and emotional competence and preventing challenging behaviours in young children.  This four tiered framework complements and supports National Quality Framework and Early Years Learning Framework, and provides an excellent model for self-reflection with a view to enhancing inclusive practice.  The major principles focus on promotion, prevention and intervention. The model is well researched and evidence shows that it has dramatically improved inclusive practices, significantly reduced challenging behaviours and increased child development outcomes. An overview is available by clicking on the tab: Teaching Pyramid - Overview.

In the capacity of Teaching Pyramid Facilitator, I am in a position to provide FREE:
-          One hour Teaching Pyramid presentation: available for staff meetings, workshops, EC Network Meetings.
-          FREE training equal to 2 days (16 hours) available for professional development within services – delivery created to suit your service.
-          Facilitate networking and further supports to encourage embedded practice.
-          Mentoring to support the ongoing implementation of the principles of the teaching pyramid model

For further information or to book a session, please contact me on the details below.  I look forward to sharing everything ‘Teaching Pyramid’.
