FY26-OSSE-DEL-Pyrmid Model Implementation- National Consortium

The District of Columbia’s Office of the State Superintendent of Education is forecasting a contract for the implementation of the Pyramid Model to support social emotional learning in early intervention services during fiscal year 2026. This initiative is part of a national consortium effort aimed at promoting positive behavioral outcomes and social-emotional development for young children, particularly those at risk or with developmental challenges. The approach emphasizes evidence-based practices that empower educators, caregivers, and service providers with structured strategies to foster secure relationships, emotional regulation, and inclusive environments in early childhood settings. While specific details such as funding amount, contract duration, or eligible applicants are not yet published, the forecast indicates a commitment to systemic implementation across the district’s early intervention programs. The Pyramid Model will be integrated into existing services to ensure consistent, high-quality support grounded in developmental science. Participation is expected to involve training providers, establishing coaching structures, and measuring outcomes to sustain long-term improvements in child and family well-being. The solicitation is anticipated to follow the posted forecast date of July 23, 2026, with further information likely to be released through the official DC contracts portal.
