Nevada Technical Assistance Center on Social Emotional Interventions Pyramid Model Partnership

2013

Nevada was selected to partner with the Technical Assistance Center on Social Emotional Intervention for Young Children (TACSEI). The purpose of this partnership is to build our state capacity to develop, implement and sustain a comprehensive system of training and technical assistance for supporting social emotional competence and addressing challenging behaviors in young children at-risk for or with identified developmental delays in Nevada. A primary goal of this partnership is to enhance the ability of the early care and education (ECE) workforce to address the social, emotional and behavioral needs of all young children birth to 5 years. This will be accomplished by embedding Pyramid Model training into existing Nevada ECE professional development initiatives to increase the availability of inclusive settings where all children have access to high quality early childhood settings. This initiative is a collaboration of funding and effort with: Nevada Department of Education, IDEA Part C Office, Positive Behavior Support Nevada (PBS-NV), Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities (NCED), and Head Start Collaboration & Early Childhood Systems Office.
