This Project follows the guidance from the National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations (NCPMI), a
federally-funded project established to disseminate effective use of the Pyramid Model to support young
children’s social, emotional and behavioral development through a variety of training and technical
assistance activities. The Project focuses on program leadership, creating internal coaching capacity,
and building knowledge for teachers to support the development of social and emotional competencies in
young children. The Project provides technical assistance and professional development to teams,
identified practitioner coaches, and instructional staff as part of the
Project.
