Northcoast Children’s Services staff of 200 serves approximately 800 children (ages 2 to 5) and their families in 23 sites and home-based options. This program started with the Teaching Pyramid as part of a county-wide launch in 2019 and began full adoption of the Teaching Pyramid Framework in 2020. They have Authorized Trainers and Authorized Coaches on their staff and provide Teaching Pyramid training and coaching every year. They have an active Leadership Team that assesses their progress each year with the Program-Wide Benchmarks of Quality and creates an annual Benchmarks of Quality Action Plan to guide and sustain implementation.
Northcoast Children’s Services became a Teaching Pyramid Partner Site in 2021. As a Partner Site, Northcoast Children’s Services has regularly shared their Teaching Pyramid practices with the rest of the state in Partner Site Webinars and in the annual Teaching Pyramid Symposium. They have a reliable Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool (TPOT) assessor on their team to assess classroom-level implementation and have regularly shared their TPOT, Benchmarks of Quality, and outcome data with the Partner Site program sponsor, the California Collaborative for Social and Emotional Learning.
