PACT’s Pyramid Model Implementation Journey
Thursday October 10, 2024 1:00pm - 3:00pm HST
G 202
The Pyramid Model is a conceptual framework of evidence-based practices for promoting young children's healthy social and emotional development. Since 2018, Parents And Children Together’s Early Head Start/Head Start program has engaged in the effort to become a Pyramid Model program. This session will provide attendees with an overview of PACT’s program-wide, systematic efforts and activities to achieve this goal.

Outcomes: 
  • Participants will learn about the systematic efforts and activities that an early childhood program might engage in when undertaking Pyramid Model implementation. 
  • Participants will leave with actionable ideas and resources for embarking on Pyramid Model implementation in their own programs or settings.
  • Participants will receive a free tool to use in their program or with their children!

Transdisciplinary Play-Based Assessments
Friday October 11, 2024 9:05am - 10:35am HST
G 202
In this session participants will learn about TPBA2 as an assessment system that can be used as a comprehensive tool for a variety of needs for our youngest learners. Hence, TPBA2, when used to fidelity, is so much more than single measure. Therefore, through learning about all facets of TPBA2, participants will know how to build a deep and rich background description of the child and family; how to utilize that information as a team to plan for an authentic play session experience; how to effectively include the family as part of the observations in the play session; and ultimately how this comprehensive body of evidence leads to effective decisions about eligibility and the IEP.
