Training: Incredible Years® Curriculum

Training: Incredible Years® Curriculum Basic Parent Group Leader Training & Classroom Dinosaur Group Leader Training Trainer: Peter Loft, Certified IY Trainer Classroom Based Dinosaur Group Leader Training (ages 3-8 Prevention)
3-day workshop will present in depth the Classroom-based Dinosaur Curriculum Program designed by Dr.
Webster-Stratton to help prevent behavior problems and promote social competence and emotional
literacy in young children. The program focuses on ways for teachers to promote children’s emotional
literacy, anger management, appropriate conflict management strategies, expected classroom behaviors,
and positive social skills or friendship behaviors with other children and adults.
The curriculum includes over 60 lesson plans for use by teachers or facilitators for children aged 3-8
(curriculum is broken up into three “levels” for different developmental stages). The training also includes
classroom management strategies which enhance children’s prosocial skills and reduce behavior plans.
Basic Parent Group Leader Training (ages 2-8)
This 3-day training will prepare group leaders to lead three different basic parenting programs: (1) toddler
program (ages 1-3 years) which is 12 weekly sessions; (2) preschool program (ages 3-6 years) which is
18-20 sessions; and (3) early school age program (ages 6-8 years) which is 16 sessions (four additional
sessions for the Supporting your Child’s Education component). The training teaches the following
content: child-directed play, academic, persistence, social and emotional coaching, praise and
encouragement, predictable routines, effective limit setting, nonphysical discipline alternatives, teaching
children to problem solve, and supporting children’s education. It guides the progression of the course
and the order of the content building blocks. Group therapy process issues such as empowering parents,
collaborating, dealing with resistance, confronting and teaching, supporting and advocating for parents
are discussed in terms of their ability to scaffold the pyramid’s structure.
These intervention programs may be used by professionals (such as therapists and parent educators
from psychology, social work, education, nursing, pediatrics, and psychiatry) who are working with
families of young children diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder or ADHD or aggressive behavior
problems or anxiety and internalizing problems (ages 3-8 years), or with higher risk socioeconomically
disadvantaged families, as well as court ordered families, foster parents, and teenage parents. The
parenting pyramid workshop will also teach how to use this program as a prevention program in
elementary schools and preschools. The curriculum uses two of Webster-Stratton’s books as the text for
group leaders: The Incredible Years: A Troubleshooting Guide for Parents of Children Aged 2-8 Years
Old and Collaborating With Parents to Reduce Children’s Behavior Problems.
