At the Susan Gray School, Adrienne taught in inclusive preschool classrooms where she implemented the Pyramid Model. In Sumner County, Adrienne taught in an autism-specific preschool classroom focused on communication and social skill development. Prior to returning to Vanderbilt to pursue her doctoral degree, Adrienne taught for six years, one in the Sumner County, TN school district and five at the Susan Gray School at Vanderbilt. She is currently working with colleagues on the Education Innovation and Research grant to adapt the Pyramid Model for kindergarten, coaching teachers on the Instructionally Enhanced Pyramid Model project, and doing data and scheduling management on the Group Coaching Approach project. Hemmeter’s lab, Adrienne supports numerous projects.

Ideal for use in teacher trainings, preservice methods courses, and individual professional development, Unpacking the Pyramid Model will give current and future educators the foundational skills they need to promote positive behavior and build all young childrenâ€™s social‐emotional competence.Adrienne Golden is a 4th year doctoral student in the Early Childhood Special Education program at Vanderbilt University.
