This tool supports State Leadership Teams and cross-sector partners in documenting, analyzing, and coordinating Pyramid Model implementation efforts across early childhood systems. It guides teams through a structured process to map existing resources, funding, family engagement activities, training and coaching capacity, implementation sites, and data systems across sectors.
The document is designed to help teams identify opportunities for collaboration, reduce duplication of effort, strengthen cross-sector alignment, and develop shared action plans. It is intended for representatives from sectors such as public pre-K, early intervention, child care, Head Start, infant and early childhood mental health, tribal communities, family-serving organizations, and other early childhood partners.
Use this tool to:
- Inventory and map resources across sectors.
- Assess current Pyramid Model implementation capacity.
- Identify gaps, barriers, and opportunities for collaboration.
- Develop shared priorities and cross-sector action plans.
- Support ongoing coordination, sustainability, and continuous improvement efforts statewide.
This resource helps leadership teams build stronger, more integrated systems that support high-quality social-emotional practices for young children and families.
