The College of the Redwoods is one of the California Community Colleges, the largest system of higher education in the United States. The College of the Redwoods Child Development Center provides a high-quality laboratory setting for Early Childhood Education students and childcare and development services for the local community. The Child development Center provides childcare and development services and State Preschool services for approximately 50 children 12 months to 5 years of age in 6 classrooms on the college campus: 2 infant rooms, 2 toddler rooms, and 2 preschool-transitional kindergarten rooms.
The College of the Redwoods adopted the Teaching Pyramid in 2019 and became a Partner Site Program in 2020. College of the Redwoods teachers have been innovative Teaching Pyramid practitioners, creating new visuals to support children’s independence, social and emotional learning centers with rich sets of teaching tools, and Program-wide Behavior Expectations posters for infant and toddler classrooms. They have used the Teaching Pyramid Inventory of Practices as a self-assessment tool to support fidelity of implementation. The College of the Redwoods Child Development Center has been an active member in the Partner Site program—sharing their practices in Webinars and contributing Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool (TPOT) data, Benchmarks of Quality data, and child outcome data to Partner Site evaluation projects.
Northcoast Children’s Services provides Head Start, Early Head Start, and State Preschool programs in Del Norte and Humboldt counties. 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.
