Teachers at all levels are seeing unprecedented levels of challenging behavior in the classroom due to the pandemic and societal changes. Fortunately, researchers have identified exactly which teacher practices will work best to prevent most negative behaviors, and which practices are most effective when teachers do need to intervene. The Pyramid Model was born from research and is continually adapting, as our knowledge of things like trauma, adverse childhood experiences (ACES), and effective teacher professional development also grows. The Pyramid Model uses systems thinking and implementation science to give teachers the most effective strategies for prevention and response to challenging behaviors.
Today’s podcast features Sara’s interview with Deidre Harris, an educational consultant who’s also a certified professional coach. Deidre has over twenty years experience in the implementation of the Pyramid Model, having worked first as a program administrator and later serving as an implementation coach to work with programs across many states. She reports that she has seen the framework grow and expand over the years and attests to the relevance it continues to make in supporting not only teachers but administrators. The Pyramid Model even influences programs’ policies and procedures.
