Welcome to The Building Bridges Project
Goal of the Building Bridges Project
- The primary goal of the Building Bridges project is to promote
kindergarten readiness by enhancing effective classroom practices and teacher-student relationships
History of the Project
- The concept for the Building Bridges Project evolved from the Preschool Behavior Project (PBP), which originated in 1995 & has since
been implemented in Head Start programs across NC
- PBP has been funded by OERI, a Head Start Mental Health Research Consortium grant,
and a Head Start Quality Research Center grant
- PBP was modified & implemented in the Safe and Drug-Free Schools project in Durham
in public preschools
- Original goal of PBP was to provide training to parents and teachers of extremely
aggressive preschool children
