💥 Pyramid 802 Plus Training: The Five Big Bang Practices

High-Leverage Strategies to Prevent Challenging Behavior

This powerful, hands-on workshop introduces educators to the Five Big Bang Practices—simple yet transformative strategies that can dramatically reduce the occurrence of challenging behaviors in early childhood classrooms.

These high-leverage practices are foundational to effective Pyramid Model implementation and focus on proactive, intentional classroom management that supports positive behavior and emotional regulation.

🧩 What You'll Learn:

Participants will explore and practice five evidence-based strategies, each designed to create a more supportive, predictable, and engaging environment for young children:

  1. Using a 5:1 Ratio of Positive Attention
     Increase positive behavior by intentionally offering five positive interactions for every one corrective response.

  2. Teaching and Using Predictable Schedules
     Help children feel safe and confident by establishing and consistently using visual and verbal schedules.

  3. Establishing Routines Within Routines
     Embed structure into daily activities to reduce uncertainty and build independence.

  4. Direct Teaching of Behavior Expectations
     Go beyond rules—teach children exactly what behavior looks and sounds like in different classroom settings.

  5. Directly Teaching Peer-Related Social Skills
     Support children in building friendships and working together through intentional instruction of social interaction skills
