iN-Ed Training, developed by the Institute for Neuroscience and Education, is a professional learning framework grounded in the latest research from neuroscience, psychology, and educational science. At its core is a structured eight-module training program designed to support educators, school psychologists, counsellors, youth workers, and social workers in understanding and applying developmentally sensitive, trauma-informed, and compassion-focused practices in their work.

Each module builds on a new paradigm of educational research, encompassing affective neuroscience, social neuroscience and psychological research with Compassion Focused models. These training modules include practical strategies informed by child development theory and psychoeducation. The training is aligned with the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (AITSL), ensuring it meets high-quality professional learning requirements nationally. The structure includes quizzes, case examples, reflection prompts, and recommended readings to foster long-term engagement and application.

Tailored Learning for Allied Health and Corporate Settings

Beyond its educational foundation, iN-Ed Training can be adapted into tailor-made programs for allied health professionals—including occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and psychologists—seeking to deepen their understanding of emotion regulation, neurodevelopment, and client-centered relational practices.

The framework is also suitable for corporate and business environments. Emotional safety, co-regulation, and workplace wellbeing are not just relevant to schools—they are central to team success and staff retention in any sector. 

 

iN-Ed Training offers tailored modules for leadership teams, HR departments, and corporate staff to improve communication, manage stress, build emotional intelligence, and create psychologically safe work environments. These trainings draw on the same evidence base and adapt content to the specific dynamics of high-performing, relationally complex workplaces.

Teacher Training Modules

Teaching with Insight: An Eight-Module Training Guide for Compassionate, Neuroscience-Informed Practice

Compassion Focused 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.
