Campbell Union School District (CUSD) is a PreK-8 school district that includes parts of 6 cities in Santa Clara County. CUSD serves more than 7,500 students, including 560 preschoolers in 8 centers.
CUSD was an early adopter of the Teaching Pyramid and was one of the first Partner Sites, recognized in 2010-11. Because the framework fits with the district goal of provide a nurturing and caring environment that equips young children with the tools necessary for social, emotional and academic success, CUSD staff have incorporated the Pyramid approach into the overall school culture. Reviewing progress and challenges in implementation is a standing agenda item in teacher meetings, they have designated a teacher on assignment as a Pyramid Coach and Trainer, and have successfully blended Teaching Pyramid practices into other academic initiatives. Another notable feature of this Partner Site is that they have sustained Leadership Team activities over a number of years and have enacted almost all of the Program-wide Benchmarks of Quality. They have a Mentor Classroom operating with high fidelity to the Teaching Pyramid framework.
As part of the De Anza Community College Child Development (De Anza CDC) and Education Department, the De Anza Child Development Center (De Anza CDC) is a laboratory school that provides quality learning experiences for over 100 children and their families each year. De Anza CDC serves children from families affiliated with De Anza College as well as the general public and who range in age from 18 months to 5 years.
Like many of the Teaching Pyramid “pioneers,” their implementation of the framework began with a core group of teachers who attended training and saw the impact of the program on children’s social and emotional competence. The entire staff was trained in the 2012-13 program year and was also recognized as a Partner Site that same year, due to their earlier implementation effort and the ongoing work of their Leadership Team. A unique feature of this Partner Site is that the De Anza CDC serves as a laboratory/demonstration school for De Anza Child Development students, as well as for those in other disciplines. As part of this focus, the team is engaged in evolving new ways of communicating and demonstrating the Teaching Pyramid framework and strategies for interns and student teachers.
