iN-Ed Training was developed by Rita Princi-Hubbard, Director in 2018, and was Trademarked on 23 May 2022. Affective Neuroscience Teacher Training modules were reviewed as part of Rita's PhD research with the University of Queensland. The focus of the research has explored The Student and Teacher Relationship: Exploring Behavioural and Neuroscience Variables that impact upon Student and Teacher Wellbeing. These modules are now available for school presentations either via webinar or in-person in a group setting.
iN-Ed Training was developed for leadership and teachers of all levels of education.
iN-Ed Training can be adapted for psychologists, allied health, and medical practitioners, including nurses and midwives following a Science of Learning foundation and Compassion Focused approach. iN-Ed Training can be delivered via webinar, or in person, in group settings in workshops or seminars offering practical strategies to improve wellbeing.
Affective Neuroscience Teacher Training Modules
Affective Neuroscience Teacher Training focuses on teacher well-being and student well-being. the modules were examined in Rita's PhD and form part of her continuing research.
The training modules follow a scientific and practical overview of development of the young brain to adolescence and presents practical strategies from a Science of Learning and Compassion Focused theories to promote both teacher and student well-being
Module 1
NEW PARADIGM OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
Explores the Science of Learning, linking neuroscience, psychological and educational research.
The Science of Learning provides the foundation upon which to understand Neuroscience, Psychological theories which are then implemented in the Educational environment.
Module 2
NEUROSCIENCE AND A COMPASSION FOCUSED APPROACH
Explores brain structures and social emotional systems important for learning. A Compassion Focused Approach explains the origins of dysregulated behaviour to understand stress, the levels of development and the importance of attachment, and presents ways to calm and re-connect the brain and body in order to achieve maximum teacher well-being and student well-being.
Module 3
BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING
Explores the developing brain and learning processes. The Science of Learning highlights the importance of the environment for healthy development as well as the role of genetics to improve wellbeing.
Module 4
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND THE BRAIN
Social-emotional learning comprises emotional regulation/awareness, social communication and collaboration skills. By identifying, defining and describing key areas of the brain responsible for social-emotional learning, we highlight the importance of relationships in the learning environment.
Module 5
THE NEUROSCIENCE OF ATTACHMENT AND CONNECTING
Explores the Compassion Focused understanding of attachment, connecting and engaging for students and teachers. Facilitation of strategies for early childhood educators and teachers helps create healthy connections and secure attachments.
Module 6
THE IMPACT OF TRAUMA ON THE DEVELOPING BRAIN AND LEARNING
From pathologizing “What’s wrong with this child?” to understanding “What’s happening?” for the child and, importantly, the adult.
This module emphasises a shift from focusing only on the cognitive perspective to the impact of trauma on the child's emotional development, and how differences in brain and body systems can remain for life.
Module 7
TEACHER SELF-CARE, WELLBEING AND RESILIENCE
Focuses on identifying stress and describing the key areas of self-care, with psychoeducation, to manage stress personally and professionally with use of Compassion Focused strategies.
Module 8
PRACTICAL STRATEGIES AND QUESTIONS
Provides the opportunity for classroom implementation and discussion of the information and knowledge gained from Modules 1 to 7 following neuroscience principles and psychological theories in the educational setting.
