Incredible Years Autism Teacher Programme®

 

For kaiako of tamariki/mokopuna aged 2-5.  The focus is on neurodiverse children who are on the autism spectrum or children with language delays who are 3–5 years old. Each teacher will have a target student in mind for the workshops.  Teachers who have already completed the Incredible Years Teacher Programme are given priority.

 

Maximum of 10 teachers per programme.

 

Six half-day sessions held over eight weeks:

• Promoting Language Development

• Promoting Social Interactions

• Promoting Emotional Literacy and Self-Regulation

 

Kaiako learn with and from others strategies for:

• engaging and playing with tamariki/mokopuna on their level

• supporting language development in tamariki/mokopuna

• encouraging their emotional self-regulation

• supporting their social and communication skills

• growing empathy

 

What you need to know

 

Venue 

Royal Oak Primary School in the RTLB meeting room (Crown Street).

 

Catering

All sessions are fully catered.  Make sure you inform Group Leaders of dietary requirements.

 

Funding

The Ministry of Education contributes $900.00 for each attending teacher.  This is payable after completion of the second session. 

 

Commitment

Pre-visits occur prior to the programme start.  Group leaders visit participants at their school to whakawhanaungatanga, and discuss the Target Student. Each teacher will have a student in mind as they develop plans for them.  We encourage teachers to inform parents of this.

 

Support visits will occur at least twice during the programme.  Group leaders visit teachers in their school setting to provide individualised support in using the strategies they are learning about.

 

Certificates

Certificates are awarded upon completion of all six sessions.
