# New resources on applying the Pyramid Model

By [idfiveadmin](/content/author/superadmin/index.html) • April 30, 2018

First unveiled in a 2003 _Young Children_ article, The Pyramid Model uses three levels of support (universal, targeted, and individualized) to promote social-emotional competence in young children. Brookes leads the way in publishing books and tools on this evidence-based model, including the **[Preschool-Wide Evaluation Tool™ (PreSET™)](/content/product/preset/index.html)**, the **[Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool (TPOT™)](/content/product/tpot/index.html)**, and **The Teaching Pyramid Infant‑Toddler Observation Scale (TPITOS)**. We also partner with the Pyramid Model Consortium (PMC) to expand access to the model for educators across the country.
