If your program is among the thousands using the evidence-based Pyramid Model for Promoting Social Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children, this is the one tool you need to make sure teachers are effectively putting it into practice. Developed by highly respected creators of the Pyramid Model for classrooms enrolling children 2-5 years of age, the TPOT(tm) is an in-depth tool that measures how well teachers are implementing practices related to universal, targeted, and individualized supports. A trained administrator conducts a classroom observation and teacher interview, uncovering detailed information about the quality of 14 key teaching practices, noting red flags that indicate areas for immediate support, and observing how teachers respond to challenging behaviors. TPOT(tm) results show schools which practices are being implemented successfully--and what teachers need to focus on to ensure positive social-emotional outcomes for young children. TPOT(tm) helps schools: Support effective implementation of the proven PBIS-based Pyramid model Promote social-emotional competence in young children Implement strategies to prevent and address challenging behavior Compare implementation across classrooms, teachers, and programs Identify where teachers need extra professional development and support Guide coaching efforts TPOT(tm) At a Glance Developers: Lise Fox, Ph.D., Mary Louise Hemmeter, Ph.D., & Patricia Snyder, Ph.D. Areas assessed: Teachersâe(tm) implementation of key practices that promote social-emotional competence, such as responsive interactions, classroom preventive practices, social-emotional teaching strategies, and capacity to provide individualized interventions Age range: For early childhood classrooms that serve children 2-5 years of age Who conducts it: A trained administrator Where itâe(tm)s conducted: Early childhood education classrooms and programs Time to complete: 2 hours for the classroom observation and 15 to 20 minutes for the interview with the teacher See which domain of school readiness in the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework this tool addresses.

A child's early teachers and caregivers play a vital role in supporting social-emotional development--and that's why more and more center-based infant and toddler programs are adopting the evidence-based Pyramid Model for Promoting Social Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children. If your program is one of them, TPITOS(TM) is the essential tool you need to ensure that infant-toddler teachers are using the Pyramid Model practices with fidelity. Modeled after the Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool (TPOT(TM)) for Preschool Classrooms, TPITOS is for early childhood settings caring for infants and toddlers from birth to 3 years of age. Focusing on teacher practices and classroom environment variables, TPITOS measures how well your program's staff is fostering responsive, nurturing relationships with children and promoting strong social-emotional development in their earliest years. How It Works A trained TPITOS administrator conducts a 2-hour classroom observation, followed by an interview with the teacher being observed. The observer completes three types of items: 1) Observational Items (practices and environmental factors noted during the observation), 2) Interview Items (practices scored based on the teacher (TM)s responses during the interview), and 3) Red Flags (practices that are not consistent with the Pyramid Model). Results of TPITOS show your program which Pyramid Model practices are being implemented effectively--and what teachers need to focus on to ensure positive social-emotional outcomes for infants and toddlers. TPITOS helps programs: Ensure effective implementation of the proven PBIS-based Pyramid Model Support professional development efforts in center-based infant-toddler settings Strengthen the practices of individual teachers or caregivers, classroom teams, and entire programs Monitor the success of quality improvement initiatives Build a foundation for social-emotional competence in the critical first years of life This set includes the TPITOS Manual and one pack of TPITOS Forms.

Reflective Network Therapy describes a remarkably effective school-based treatment method that harnesses small social networks for the good of seriously emotionally disturbed preschoolers or those with autism spectrum disorders. The book provides an in-depth explanation of the method — including the work of parents, peers, teachers, and mental health therapists. The RNT method has a substantial evidence base, with about the same number of treated children and a larger number of comparison and control cases as the published IQ results of the most widely used school based method. It has been used in many real life environments and is well-tested for feasibility, replicability, IQ effects, and children's global mental health results. The RNT method does not separate the child from peers by pairing him with an aide but is peer, teacher and parent inclusive. The cost-benefits and human benefits are extraordinary.

If we want our pupils to develop fluency, understanding and the ability to solve complex problems, then it is vital that teachers develop the ability to select, adapt and design appropriate mathematical tasks. In 'Mathematical Tasks: The Bridge Between Teaching and Learning', Chris McGrane and Mark McCourt a range of practical approaches, strategies and principles behind the design and effective use of tasks in the mathematics classroom that lead to all pupils becoming successful learners. First-hand interviews with world class mathematics education experts and practicing teachers bring to life the ideas behind how tasks can act as a bridge between what the teacher wants the pupil to make sense of and what the pupil actually does makes sense of; tasks are how we enable pupils to enact mathematics - it is only by being mathematical that pupils can truly make connections across mathematical ideas and understand the bigger picture. This is a book for classroom teachers. Chris McGrane offers a range of practical examples for nurturing deep learning in mathematics that can be adapted and embedded in one's own classroom practice. This is also a book for those who are interested in the theory behind tasks. Chris and his interviewees examine the key role tasks play in shaping learning, teaching, curriculum and assessment. Suitable for teachers at all stages in their careers and teachers are encouraged to return to the book from time to time over the years to notice how their use of tasks in the classroom changes as they themselves develop.
