Solving Problems…So You Don’t Have To: Teaching Children to Work Through Conflict
A Pyramid Model Workshop for Early Childhood Educators

Conflict is a natural part of childhood — from toy struggles to turn-taking troubles. But when children learn to solve problems together, they build skills that last a lifetime: cooperation, empathy, and self-confidence. This workshop helps educators support children in working through peer conflicts using the evidence-based NCPMI Solution Kit and other practical strategies.

This is a practice-based workshop with a hands-on structure:

• 45-Minute Interactive Presentation — Explore strategies for teaching problem-solving steps, modeling conflict resolution, and guiding children through real-life challenges.

• 15-Minute Video Reflection — See children using the Solution Kit in action and discuss what makes adult guidance effective.

• 60-Minute Tinker and Take — Create and customize problem-solving visuals and Solution Kit tools you can use immediately in your setting.

You’ll leave with:

• A clear understanding of how problem-solving builds independence, empathy, and stronger peer relationships.

• Practical strategies for guiding children step-by-step through conflicts in positive ways.

• A ready-to-use NCPMI Solution Kit and conflict-resolution visuals to bring back to your classroom tomorrow.

The Attendance and Engagement Network is hosted by the Sacramento County Office of Education. The Network meets three times a year, with agendas developed collaboratively based on feedback from network members.

The LEA assessment coordinator position has a huge learning curve, including many deadlines and few, if any, ‘job alikes’ within a district. The sessions will be guided by the activities listed in the Coordinator Checklist and will include other timely activities. The support sessions will be offered monthly via Zoom. These sessions will be co-facilitated by SCOE and PCOE LEA coordinators. The facilitators will help address questions and offer support. These support sessions are designed to provide new LEA assessment coordinators an opportunity to connect with other coordinators, build community and to ask questions related to their job in a small group setting.
