Equity
- Details
This work group focuses on conducting a mixed methods study that combines both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to examine the efficacy of the implementation of Pyramid Model training in New York State.
Details
The focus of this work group is to incorporate the Pyramid Model approach into practice by creating a program-wide implementation plan, a community-wide implementation plan and plans for the Demonstration sites. It is also to enable the Master Cadre of trainers to receive training and coaching sufficient to adopt and train on all the modules of the Pyramid Model.
Details
This work group strives to reduce and eventually eliminate suspensions and expulsions of children in early childhood settings (child care, Head Start programs, pre-K) and establish coordinated standards for responding to challenging behaviors. The group is also working on developing financial strategies to support the implementation and sustainability of the Pyramid Model.
Details
The work of this group is to guide & review the implementation of the Pyramid Model with an equity lens, to ensure culturally responsible practices and identification of implicit and explicit bias. This includes ensuring equity across the four essential structures: State Leadership Team, Master Cadre, Implementing and potential implementing programs, and Data System.
