A child's early teachers and caregivers play a vital role in supporting social-emotional development--and that's why more and more center-based infant and toddler programs are adopting the evidence-based \u003ci\u003ePyramid Model for Promoting Social Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children\u003c\/i\u003e. If your program is one of them, TPITOS(TM) is the essential tool you need to ensure that infant-toddler teachers are using the Pyramid Model practices with fidelity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Modeled after the Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool (TPOT(TM)) for Preschool Classrooms, TPITOS is for early childhood settings caring for infants and toddlers from birth to 3 years of age. Focusing on teacher practices and classroom environment variables, TPITOS measures how well your program's staff is fostering responsive, nurturing relationships with children and promoting strong social-emotional development in their earliest years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow It Works \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A trained TPITOS administrator conducts a 2-hour classroom observation, followed by an interview with the teacher being observed.
