Unpacking the Infant-Toddler Pyramid Model: A Practical Guide for Teachers and Providers

Brookes Publishing Company
The highly anticipated follow-up to "Unpacking the Pyramid Model," this one-of-a-kind book is the first to provide a comprehensive, step-by-step overview of the widely used Pyramid Model Practices for infants and toddlers from birth to three. With this accessible training guide, teachers and providers will use research-based practices to meet the unique needs of infants and toddlers--and boost their social-emotional development in the critical first years of life. Created by the Pyramid Model developers and experts with extensive training experience, this book gives readers a complete introduction to the framework, plus in-depth guidance, evidence-based practices, and helpful checklists for implementing all levels of the Pyramid Model: universal, targeted, and individualized. Teachers and providers will learn how to: (1) Address their own well-being to prepare for their important work; (2) Build positive partnerships with families and colleagues; (3) Develop predictable and responsive schedules, routines, and transitions; (4) Promote children's social skills and emotional competencies; (5) Support children's active engagement with their environment and peers; (6) Create an anti-racist and inclusive early care environment; (7) Meet the needs of young children who have experienced trauma; (8) Understand, prevent, and effectively respond to challenging behavior; (9) Provide individualized support for children with persistent needs related to social-emotional development and behavior; and (10) Use data to monitor Pyramid Model practice implementation and effects. Ideal for use in preservice and inservice training, this book will expertly prepare infant-toddler teachers and providers to give the youngest children a strong foundation of social-emotional competence.
