Supporting the Implementation of the Pyramid Model

The Pyramid Model not only identifies evidence-based practices, but also provides guidance to programs about how to support teachers in using the practices with fidelity. The Program-wide implementation of the Pyramid Model refers to a systemic effort within a program for Pyramid Model implementation fidelity. In program-wide implementation, a leadership team guides the implementation process and develops the supports and infrastructure needed to ensure that implementation of the Pyramid Model can occur within the classrooms and services provided to children and their families. Components of the Program-Wide Approach include: Leadership Team, Staff Buy-In, Family Engagement, Program-Wide Expectations, Classroom Implementation of the Pyramid Model, Staff Professional Development Support Plans, Behavior Support Procedures, and Data-Based Decision Making.
