This resource from the National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations (NCPMI) provides a collection of Positive Behavior Support (PBS) strategies designed to help early childhood educators address challenging behavior. The document outlines a systematic approach that includes understanding the function of a child’s behavior, implementing prevention strategies, and teaching new social-emotional skills. It emphasizes a multi-tiered framework, such as the Pyramid Model, which offers universal, targeted, and individualized interventions to promote social competence and reduce challenging behaviors in young children. The guide also highlights collaboration with families, data-driven decision-making, and developmentally appropriate practices.
