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.

Testimonials

Senior Director of Early Childhood Programs

“At first, I felt overwhelmed and was worried that my teacher, who already had a lot on her plate, would push back at the additional work. Now, about five/six months later, there is a buzz and excitement about the Pyramid Model. I have overheard our preschool teacher sharing resources and ideas that she has implemented in her classroom. Other teachers turn to her for advice. She has gained so much from her classroom coach. And, as a leadership team, we have accomplished so much. It has made us take a hard look at our program, and we have made some changes, all of which are going to support our teachers, children, and families in the long run and make our center higher quality. This experience has been so worthwhile and meaningful. I look forward to seeing more growth and excitement around the Pyramid Model in our center.”
Public School Early Childhood Director

“Almost every class I get into these days, I see the impact of your workshop. For seasoned teachers, it was a reminder and a refresher. For younger teachers, they are proudly showing me what they created. You made my work so much easier :)
Private Preschool Teacher

I have grown in the way of being way more of an intentional teacher. I find that I had so many things I have wanted to work on as a teacher but never really was able to execute. I found that with coaching I was able pick specific things I wanted to work on, and was given the opportunity to do that and not just gloss right over it, or state the classic “next year I really want to work on this with my students” and have the new year roll around and it never really happened. The ability to sit down and collaborate with someone about a goal that I want to work on, talk about the steps to be successful in my goal and then implement the goal with hopes of achieving are energizing.
