iN-Ed Training translates neuroscience, psychological science and compassion-focused practice into practical professional learning. Developed by Dr Rita Princi-Hubbard, its programs help professionals better understand regulation, behaviour, relationships and the ways our nervous systems influence how we think, communicate, learn and respond under pressure.
Teaching with Insight is iN-Ed’s foundational eight-module professional learning program. Developed through Rita’s doctoral research, it brings together neuroscience, psychology, child development and compassion-focused approaches to strengthen educator wellbeing, relationships and the capacity to understand and respond to student needs.
Tailored Professional Learning
Beyond Teaching with Insight, iN-Ed develops tailored professional learning for organisations, leaders and professional teams across education, health, allied health and other workplace settings.
Programs draw on neuroscience, psychology and compassion-focused practice to explore regulation, communication, relationships, wellbeing and functioning under pressure. Content can be tailored to the particular needs and challenges of each professional setting.
Workshops and programs are designed to translate complex science into practical strategies that participants can understand, apply and integrate into their everyday professional practice.
Teaching with Insight — Eight Modules
Teaching with Insight is an eight-module professional learning program developed through Dr Rita Princi-Hubbard’s doctoral research. It integrates neuroscience, psychological science, child development and compassion-focused practice to help educators better understand themselves, their students and the relational processes that influence learning and wellbeing.
Across the eight modules, participants move from understanding the science of learning and regulation to practical strategies that can be applied in everyday educational settings. A central principle runs throughout the program: supporting students begins with understanding and supporting the adults who teach them.

Module 1
THE SCIENCE OF LEARNING - A NEW PARADIGM
Explores the Science of Learning and the integration of neuroscience, psychology and education. Participants consider how brain and body processes, relationships and the learning environment interact to influence engagement, behaviour, wellbeing and learning.
Module 2
NEUROSCIENCE, REGULATION & COMPASSION
Explores the brain and nervous system processes involved in stress, emotion and regulation. Participants are introduced to compassion-focused approaches for understanding dysregulation and learn how adult regulation and co-regulation can support connection, wellbeing and learning.

Module 3
BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING
Explores how the brain develops across childhood and adolescence and how development influences learning, behaviour and emotional regulation. Participants consider the important role of relationships, experience and the environment in supporting healthy development, wellbeing and learning.
Module 4
SOCIAL NEUROSCIENCE
Explores the neuroscience of human connection and the ways our nervous systems influence and respond to one another. Participants consider how social interaction, relationships, stress and co-regulation can influence emotional states, behaviour, engagement and learning within the classroom.

Module 5
UNDERSTANDING ATTACHMENT AND LEARNING
Explores how children’s early relationships can influence their emotional and social development, behaviour, learning and relationships at school. Participants learn to recognise behaviours that may be related to attachment and consider ways of responding that foster trust, safety and connection.
Module 6
THE IMPACT OF TRAUMA ON THE DEVELOPING BRAIN AND LEARNING
Explores how trauma and adverse experiences can affect the developing brain, nervous system, emotions, behaviour and learning. Participants learn how trauma-related responses may present in the classroom and how educators can respond in ways that support safety, regulation, connection and engagement.

Module 7
TEACHER SELF-CARE, WELLBEING AND RESILIENCE
Explores teacher stress, wellbeing and self-regulation, and how these can influence both personal and professional functioning. Participants develop greater awareness of their own responses to stress and learn practical, compassion-focused strategies to support regulation, wellbeing and their capacity to respond effectively in the classroom.
Module 8
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER: PRACTICAL STRATEGIES
Brings together the knowledge and understanding developed across Modules 1–7 and translates it into practical classroom application. Participants reflect on how neuroscience and psychological principles can inform everyday practice and develop strategies to support regulation, relationships, wellbeing and learning.
