Pyramid Model Practice-Based Workshop - Noticing What Matters: Positive Feedback that Builds Up
Noticing What Matters: Positive Feedback that Builds Up
A Pyramid Model Workshop for Early Childhood Educators
• Focuses on using Positive Descriptive Feedback (PDF) in playful, practical ways to show children what they did right, why it matters, and how it connects to classroom expectations.
• Highlights how descriptive feedback is more powerful than generic praise and how it strengthens skills, relationships, and confidence.
Follows a 3-part structure:
• 45-Minute Interactive Presentation — Fun strategies and examples for noticing, describing, and reinforcing positive behaviors.
• 15-Minute Video Reflection — Real-world clips of Positive Descriptive Feedback in action with guided discussion.
• 55-Minute Tinker and Take — Hands-on practice where you’ll create ready-to-use feedback prompts, visuals, and classroom reminders.
Emphasizes cultural responsiveness, intentional language, and equitable use of feedback across all children.
You’ll leave with fresh ideas, easy tools, and strategies you can try the very next day in your classroom.
Includes adaptable activities and supports for all early learning settings—centers, family child care, Head Start, and FFN.
