Our Mission
At Pyramid 802+, we know sufficient social and emotional support decreases challenging behaviors and is foundational to all learning. We train and coach adults using evidence and research-based practices so they will help each and every child realize their potential.
Our Services
Program Leadership
First, let us help you establish your leadership team to build a solid, effective workforce and build internal capacity to sustain the work once we are done.
Intentional Professional Development Planning
Next, let us help you develop an intentionally targeted staff training plan that will increase staff retention and improve child and family outcomes.
Practice Based Coaching
Lastly, one of our Practice-Based coaches will provide individualized support to help you integrate what you learned in training into your daily teaching practices.
Why other Professional Development Fail
Research shows that training only raises awareness of teaching practices, and only 5% know how to implement what was learned in training.
Trainers can have little to no experience using the framework in the classroom or program.
The professional development others provide is not based on research and can lack a systematic approach.
Other trainers may focus on teaching reactive measures that only temporarily solve current challenges.
What makes P802P professional development different?
We provide coaching. Research shows that 95% of people change their practice when coaching is added to training.
We use the Practice Based Coaching model which is strengths-based and practitioner driven.
We continuously strive to improve by being open to feedback, new ideas, research, and perspectives.
We are a collective with years of experience implementing the teaching practices we train. We don't just teach, we live them, too.
We base our professional development on a robust body of research in the field of education, ensuring that our methods are grounded in evidence and best practices.
We tackle the root of the challenge, promoting lasting teaching practices that are proactive in preventing issues before they even arise, giving you the confidence to respond to any situation.
The lens we use to provide services includes three critical elements.
Our approach emphasizes supporting you, the key player, to individualize support, ensuring all children can fully participate, meet high expectations, and achieve their full potential. This approach allows all children in your high-quality, inclusive early childhood program to be successful, regardless of their background, learning style, or ability.
We assist you in designing classroom opportunities that ensure all children’s individual social and emotional needs are met, fostering the development of the skills and confidence they need for a lifetime of success. We support you in providing each child with exactly what they need to succeed, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach that disregards their unique needs.
Knowing that behavior is communication, we are here to equip you with the tools you need to respond to behavior in a way that helps children feel safe and secure, fostering their confidence as learners. We empower you to create intentional learning opportunities that teach social and emotional skills in a safe and predictable environment because we believe in your ability to make a difference.
