Madera Unified School District provides services to approximately 300 children ages 0-5 through Infant and Toddler Programs and State Preschool. They operate about 14 preschool classrooms and 2 infant-toddler classrooms, many of which are located on high school campuses in their district. Madera Unified School District adopted the CA Teaching Pyramid in 2014 and became a Partner Site in 2018. They have been able to sustain program-wide implementation over this span of time by providing ongoing training and coaching for their staff of approximately 80 people, managing turnover by including CA Teaching Pyramid courses from California Early Childhood Online into their onboarding process, and by conscientiously mentoring new Leadership Team members.
Madera Unified School District has deepened teacher practice by providing in-service training in the direct teaching of Social and Emotional Skills, such as Emotional Literacy and Friendship Skills. They also support high-fidelity implementation by providing individualized coaching to teaching teams on Teaching Pyramid practices, helping them prevent challenging behaviors and promote appropriate behavior in all children. Madera Unified School District goes “above and beyond” training classroom staff by offering the Teaching Pyramid For Families to groups of parents and family members in their program so that they can use the same approaches that teachers are using. They also make use of resources available in the Leadership Team Community of Practice to provide substitute teachers and classroom volunteers with CA Teaching Pyramid strategies they can use in their roles.
