TPOT™ Reliability Training Certification

Developed by the creators of the Pyramid Model for classrooms enrolling children 2–5 years of age, the TPOT™ is an in-depth tool that provides information on how well teachers are implementing practices related to universal, targeted, and individualized supports.

This reliability training will provide support for coaches to conduct a classroom observation and teacher interview, uncovering detailed information about the quality of 14 key teaching practices, noting red flags that indicate areas for immediate support, and observing how educators respond to challenging behaviors.

TPITOS™ Reliability Training Certification

Teaching Pyramid Infant Toddler Observation Scale TPITOS™ is for early childhood center-based programs caring for infants and toddlers. Focusing on educator 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.
