The Institute of Child Education and Psychology (ICEP) Europe have been working on an Erasmus+ research project titled Implementing Positive Behaviour Support in Early Childhood Education and Care (PBS-ECEC).

As part of the research project, we would like to invite preschools to take part in a free training programme designed to help educators to create an inclusive learning environment which supports positive relationships and promotes children´s socialemotional development.

Educators will receive online training and ongoing support from a Positive Behaviour Support coach, and will also get access to a free, online training package which includes five modules:

  • Module 1: Early childhood education and socio-emotional learning o Module 2: Basic theoretical framework of PBS
  • Module 3: Practical tips on supporting socio-emotional learning and PBS
  • Module 4: Whole-school programme approach
  • Module 5: Assessment and monitoring methods

 

I want to get involved – what happens next? Please email us at a.szproch@icepe.eu and we will get back to you with more details.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. For more information about the project, visit https://pbs–ecec.eu/
