Roadmap #3 – Promoting Social Behavior of Young Children in Group Settings: A Summary of Research
This Roadmap shares practices for promoting adaptive social-emotional behavior of toddlers and preschoolers, with or at risk for disabilities and who have problems with behavior, in group settings.
Response to Intervention and the Pyramid Model
Response to Intervention (RtI) offers a comprehensive model for the prevention of delays in learning and behavior. While this problem-solving framework was initially designed for application within Kindergarten to 12th grade programs, there is substantial research that supports the value of the model for application within early childhood programs. This paper provides an overview of RtI and discusses the Pyramid Model (Fox, Dunlap, Hemmeter, Joseph, & Strain, 2003) and its application for promoting young children’s social competence and preventing behavior challenges (June 2009).
Roadmap #2 – Evidence-Based Social-Emotional Curricula and Intervention Packages for Children 0-5 Years and Their Families
This Roadmap provides guidance on promoting healthy social-emotional development in all young children and intervening early with children who may be displaying problematic social-emotional behaviors.
The Pyramid Model for Supporting Social-Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children
This four-page fact sheet provides an overview of the Pyramid Model for Supporting Social-Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children. Specifically, this fact sheet describes the three tiers of intervention practice: universal promotion for all children; secondary preventions to address the intervention needs for children at risk of social-emotional delays, and tertiary interventions needed for children with persistent challenges. Additionally, six key assumptions that were made during the design process about how the Pyramid Model would be implemented are outlined.

This Roadmap provides a brief overview of the use of screening and to help administrators and teachers choose appropriate instruments for implementing a screening program.
“You Got It!” Teaching Social and Emotional Skills
In this article we look at the secondary level of the teaching pyramid, which emphasizes planned instruction on specific social and emotional skills for children at risk for developing more challenging behavior, such as severe aggression, property destruction, noncompliance, or withdrawal. Children who may be considered at risk for challenging behavior are persistently noncompliant, have difficulty regulating their emotions, do not easily form relationships with adults and other children, have difficulty engaging in learning activities, and are perceived by teachers as being likely to develop more intractable behavior problems.
