Carmel Unified School District Child Development Program provides early care and education services to approximately 150 children and families in 13 classrooms across 3 sites. These services include full-day infant and full-and part-day toddler classrooms, and full- and part-day State Preschool and tuition-based preschool and transitional kindergarten options. The Child Development Program is an inclusive program—approximately 15% of enrolled children have active Individualized Education Plans.
The Child Development Program began implementing the Teaching Pyramid in 2013 and joined the Partner Site program in 2018. The program Leadership Team has built the Teaching Pyramid framework into their program in a variety of ways. They have an Authorized Trainer and an Authorized Coach on their staff to provide ongoing training and coaching for teachers. They have included regular Teaching Pyramid planning time as a standing agenda item in staff meetings and use the Classroom Pacing Guide to ensure maintenance of Teaching Pyramid lessons and activities. They conduct Teaching Pyramid for Families groups for parents each year, so that families can learn and use Teaching Pyramid strategies at home. They have shared their work in Webinars and in the annual Symposium. These efforts have paid off for their program. They report high levels of teacher buy-in and ownership and they have achieved very high implementation fidelity scores in Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool assessments in all of their classrooms and over time.
