Incredible Beginnings Teacher Program Group Leader Training

This training workshop will train group leaders to deliver the Incredible Beginnings® Program to teachers and childcare providers and includes a training protocol for teachers of toddlers (1–3 years) as well as one for preschoolers (3–5 years). In this collaborative, interactive training, participants learn group leadership skills such as the use of self-reflection inventories and goal setting, mediation of video vignettes, how to set up role play practices and buzzes, development of behavior plans, and benefits/barriers exercises. The program topics focus on ways preschool and daycare providers can provide an environment that promotes optimal development of children’s social competence, emotional literacy, self-regulation, and sense of security and attachment, as well as early problem-solving and academic readiness skills. After this training, leaders can offer this 6–day curriculum to groups of teachers and/or childcare providers.
