Join us as we explore and then bring together two frameworks: the Pyramid Model for social-emotional competence and West Ed’s Bridging Cultures framework.  After looking at each framework separately, we will use them to guide our analysis of free online SEL resources.  We will brainstorm practical steps and ideas for implementing culturally appropriate practices that also enhance children’s social-emotional development.  

This paper, “Frameworks for Response to Intervention in Early Childhood: Description and Implications,” has been jointly developed by the Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children, the National Association for the Education of Young Children, and the National Head Start Association. The purpose of the joint paper is to define early childhood response-to-intervention frameworks and to promote a broader understanding and discussion of the topic.
