December 2009  -  Incredible Years  Newsletter

Dear Incredible Years group facilitators :

Greetings for the Holidays and all best wishes for a wonderful 2010! We have continued to work on ways to help you deliver our programs the best way possible.

We have added more "small items" to our products list! Check out the extra products page on the web site.

We have the newest translations as well as the research and therapy articles published in 2009 on the web site too. You might also want to check out the implementation section to see what others are doing with The Incredible Years Programs around the world.

Remember, handouts for parents and teachers get updated from time to time so be sure to check out these links to the web site and download the latest versions. You can use and copy the handouts to distribute in your groups.

We hope you find it all useful, and please email us any time with questions.

We have learned that there is still some confusion on what to send for the paperwork requirements for certification/accreditation. For example, some group leaders are sending the process checklist as a self-evaluation and not realizing to send the self-evaluation on the peer and self-evaluation form. Here are tips and instructions about preparing your certification/accreditation DVD.

General Certification/Accreditation FAQ

DVD Review - Parent Group Leader

DVD Review - Small Group Dina Leader

DVD Review - Classroom Dina - Leader

DVD Review - Teacher Program

We’ve also uncovered some confusion with regard to the video requirements – for example sending a full day’s worth of teacher program workshop, as opposed to an edited session, etc.

All this information is available in the Certification section of the web site on the Group Leader Certification process page. Please take a look.

We are seeing more and more people getting certified/accredited and this is very exciting. People who have become certified leaders are eligible to continue on and become accredited coaches. Accredited coaches support new leaders though their learning process. Let us know if you are interested.

We'd appreciate hearing from you if there is any question about how you can get your DVD reviewed if it’s in another language, like Turkish or Spanish, etc.

The Incredible Years book for parents is now in Spanish! This is the first 10 chapters of the English version, and the price is $15.95 per book. Please contact us to purchase copies for your groups. Or, to order a single copy now, download the order form.

The Big Wally books?
These are great for teachers and dinosaur leaders to use in circle time discussions with children. More views of this product on the web site extras page. To order now, download the order form.

The wrist reward bracelets?
FFor the Dina Child program; great to put on children’s wrists and to cross off or color every time they use a prosocial solution or follow a rule.

Have you seen the tool kit?
You can use this in teacher or parent workshops to periodically review all the management tools they have learned.

See other new, fun games and posters on the product extras page of our web site and there are more come in January. Pricing is indicated on the order form, or you may email us any time.

Updated Video Clip Samples to View!

Samples of the updated video clips of the programs are on the website now. These short excerpts are excellent for administrators or anyone interested in the Incredible Years programs to experience the programs in action.

PLEASE help us keep the database up-to-date – spread the word. If your contact information has changed, please let us know. We are particularly happy to know new email addresses, to ensure everyone receives the general newsletters.

Wishing you all the best for a happy holiday,

Lisa and Carolyn
