Teachers and educators

Those who educate and care for children ages 2-12 have an awesome and daunting task. Educators are the people that children spend the most time with, outside of their nuclear families. They are expected to be responsible for student’s academic, social and emotional development as well as their physical health and safety.

Almost all teachers and educators enter the profession because they want to make a difference in children’s lives. And teachers do that, in multiple ways every day. It is also true that it’s often exhausting to try to meet all these needs, especially in under-resourced schools, with students who come to school with many needs. Consequently, rates of teacher burnout are high.

The iiP teacher programme in development

The iiP Teacher Programme will support teachers to use evidence-based strategies that increase children’s social and emotional well-being in the classroom, following the Six Bricks for Kids model, parallel to that used in the parent programme. The teacher programme will also explore the teacher-child relationship with practical information on understanding children’s needs, wants, feelings and behaviours. It will provide strategies that have been highly researched and are proven to work to create strong student-teacher bonds as well as set appropriate and safe limits so that children can learn and thrive. These approaches will strengthen the social community as a whole and provide insight into how to understand and respond to the needs of individual neurodiverse children.

We are ready to start co-creating the iiP Teacher Programme in countries that want a culturally adapted programme for schools and kindergartens that is built on research, is cost-effective and easy to implement.

The iiP Teacher Programme trainings will be advertised as soon as they are available.
