The Incredible Years Teacher Training Programme is aimed at teachers of primary school students aged 4-8 years. It is a research-based programme developed by Dr. Carolyn Webster-Stratton at the university of Washington. It aims to improve children's competence, emotional regulation and problem-solving skills and reduce their behavior problems. The objective of the programme is to provide teachers with effective classroom management strategies for managing misbehavior, for promoting positive relationships with difficult students and for strengthening social skills in the classroom. Course participants will learn these strategies by watching short videos of teachers handling problem situations both effectively and ineffectively. In addition to learning new strategies, the programme will support teachers in implementing the new strategies in their classrooms and in setting up individualised programmes.
