Teachers’ board

As the common product of the 3 years long project, whose aim was teaching how to create and maintain good habits, how to adopt new ways of life, manage our stress level and make our schools better, more approachable and pleasant places We decided to share the resources which were made throughout the duration of the project. This is a collection of presentations, worksheets, quizzes and other resources. Obviously, the building itself plays the essential role, but it is the teacher, his or her attitude, creativity and his or her stance on how to approach students, is the vital element of the process of learning. Here, all the collected materials can be used to make lessons more inspiring and interesting.

Parents’ School

You need a special license to drive a car. How come you aren’t obliged to pass an exam to become a parent? To help some parents who feel they need some guidance on bringing their children up, the psychologists from our school organized the workshops. Parents, who attended the course wanted to learn how to accompany children as they grow up, how to build mutual trust and prepare their offspring for tackling problems.

The objectives of this 30-hour course:

  • studying the different developmental stages of children
  • teaching how to  build a strong and secure relationship 
  • teaching parents how to set boundaries
  • teaching how to shape their children’s sense of self-worth and competency
  • showing how to create an environment in which understanding, trust, and respect can flourish
  • demonstrating strategies for solving conflicts
  • teaching how to deal with a failure
  • helping how to handle anger safely and healthily

The parents who took part in the workshops were really satisfied as the content lived up to their expectations.
