In Oklahoma, the promotion of young children’s self well-being and resilience is a critical focus, as these foundational skills play a pivotal role in their long-term success. The state supports the Pyramid Model framework as a proven approach to fostering emotional regulation and reducing challenging behaviors in early childhood settings. Partners from public and private sectors, including leaders committed to enhancing the emotional health and competencies of young children and their families, collaborate to advance the implementation of Pyramid Model principles and initiatives. Through these efforts, Oklahoma aims to strengthen emotional literacy and equip children, educators, and families with the tools needed to thrive in school and life.
The SLT has worked closely with the Pyramid Model Consortium to develop a comprehensive strategic plan for statewide implementation of the Pyramid Model and complete the exploration/planning stage for each of the Pyramid Model key structures (state leadership team or SLT; a master cadre of training and TA professionals; behavior specialists; implementation programs and communities; and data and evaluation systems).
