The CA Teaching Pyramid is the name used to describe the framework originally developed by the Center on the Social Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CSEFEL) and is now operated by National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations. The Center developed and disseminated the Teaching Pyramid, a systematic framework of evidence-based, user-friendly practices to help early childhood educators meet the needs of the growing number of children with behaviors adults find challenging and mental health concerns. The Teaching Pyramid approach incorporates early childhood Positive Behavior Support to promote healthy social-emotional development, support children\u2019s appropriate behavior, prevent behavior that is challenging, and address behavior issues.<\/p>\n

WestEd\u2019s adaptation of this framework is named The CA TEACHING PYRAMID FRAMEWORK. Under the California Collaborative on Social Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CA CSEFEL), WestEd, San Marcos Office (WestEd) has adapted the materials specifically for use in California and provides training and technical assistance on this comprehensive, program-wide CA Teaching Pyramid approach to districts, counties, and organizations.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
