Participants must attend the Pyramid workshop days 1-3 prior to attending this workshop.

This is the fourth of four workshop days based on the Pyramid Model for Supporting Social Emotional Confidence. The Pyramid Model has been embedded in programs throughout the world as a comprehensive, multi-tiered, team-based approach to understanding children’s behavior, which includes prevention, promotion, and intervention practices.

During this workshop, participants will identify the steps of the process of Positive Behavior Support; and learn to define form and function of communication and identify the behavioral mechanisms that contribute to viewing challenging behavior as communicative. The steps of a functional assessment interview will be discussed.  Participants will also understand the development of behavior support planning including: strategies that may be taught to prevent challenging behavior; identify replacement skills that may be taught to replace challenging behavior; and identify how to respond in a way that does not maintain or reinforce challenging behavior.  There will also be the opportunity to use the knowledge gained from the entire workshop series to develop a behavior support plan for a case study child.

To fully understand and embed the Pyramid Model within your program, participants are encouraged to attend all four workshops in this series as a team from your program.

This workshop is being held in collaboration with the Early Childhood Center of Professional Learning.
