The Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool (TPOT) for Preschool Classrooms measures how well teachers are implementing the three tiers of the Pyramid Model Practices for Promoting Social Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children in classrooms serving children 2-5 years of age. The TPOT reliability training prepares attendees to assess preschool teacher implementation of the Pyramid Model practices using the published version of the TPOT instrument. This is an intensive workshop that requires prerequisite knowledge, preparation, and participation in the entire workshop. This workshop is specifically targeted toward those serving in community or school district leadership and coaching. Participants who successfully complete the workshop and meet reliability standards will receive a certificate indicating reliability standards.
