<p>Every strong pyramid starts with a solid foundation.<br />
In the National Center for Pyramid Model Innovations Pyramid Model, the base is not &ldquo;extra&rdquo; &ndash;<br />
<strong><em>it is the essential work that makes everything else possible.</em></strong>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Before behavior strategies, individualized interventions, or problem-solving plans can truly succeed, children need:</p>

<ul>
	<li style="text-align: left;">Predictable relationships</li>
	<li style="text-align: left;">Safe, nurturing environments</li>
	<li style="text-align: left;">Consistent routines</li>
	<li style="text-align: left;">Intentional teaching practices</li>
	<li style="text-align: left;">Emotionally responsive adults&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</div>

<p>This engaging training experience will challenge participants to reflect on one critical question:<br />
<strong><em>&ldquo;Are we building supports on a strong foundation&mdash;</em></strong><br />
<strong><em>or trying to build the top of the pyramid first?&rdquo;</em></strong><br />
