This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Reflective Network Therapy In The Preschool Classroom written by Gilbert Kliman and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
