Implementation Exploration and Readiness

Interested in the exploring Pyramid Model Implementation?    The purpose of this free course is to help you gain an understanding of the Pyramid Model program-wide implementation process, and to give you the information you need to determine if this is the right time for you to commit to implementing this framework. These modules can be completed on your own or together with your leadership team.

In this course, we will:

  • Review some of the concerns that may have led you to consider implementing the Pyramid Model in your program.
  • Explore the Pyramid Model and how it has helped other programs address these concerns.
  • And get familiar with the Benchmarks of Quality. This is the data source and guide of the Program-wide journey.

By the end of this course, you’ll see how providing this evidence-based, systematic implementation of the Pyramid Model benefits both your staff and the children and families you serve. If you have additional questions about exploring Pyramid Model implementation please contact Rob Corso at [email protected] or Erin Kalanick at [email protected].
