Training Courses

Training tailored for your work community

Emotional skills are the basis of all our activities. The emotional competence of a child or adolescent affects their entire course of life. Strengthening and supporting emotional skills can therefore be a protective factor, e.g. in terms of preventing risky behaviour and marginalisation.

These training courses are based on the contents of the evidence-based Steps of Aggression teaching programme. They are aimed at early childhood professionals, primary and secondary school education and teaching staff, student welfare professionals, or children’s parents/guardians.

The themes taught in the teaching programme based on the Steps of Aggression model (Cacciatore, 2007) are:

Different emotions and the concept of aggression
Violence and handling emotions
Argument skills
Calming down and relaxing

We can organise training tailored to the needs of our customers on request.

Full day training (6 hours)

This training course is based on the “Handling Feelings and Behaviour” teacher’s manual, which was created in accordance with the new basic education curriculum and early childhood education plans (Hintikka, 2018; Kiviluote, 2019). With the help of this book, you can support students’ socio-emotional development by teaching them about emotional and interaction skills, anti-violence attitudes, and helping students to find their own strengths.

During this course participants will get acquainted with the teaching materials and learn to apply them to their own work in a practical way.

The basic education training can also be taught in Swedish, with school teacher Johanna Berlin as the instructor.

Half day training (3 hours)

Fits in well with the VESO-training, for example.

Lecture

Adapts well to municipal VESO-days, home/school interaction days, or parents’ evenings.

Testimonials on Jaana Kiviluote’s training (translated from Finnish)

Many thanks for the brilliant training! Important information from start to finish!

Thank you so much for the productive training. It was so nice to listen to you.

It’s so nice that you’ve put together ready-made material on so many things for us to use. It was great to have your programme as a real book instead of a messy bundle of handouts. Many thanks again.

Thank you for a very rewarding and inspiring training day! Things connected so meaningfully to our everyday practices and I got great tools for different situations in everyday school life.

I have been to a number of different training courses. Finally, there is a course where things were based on strong practical experience! Many thanks!

Training for professionals in primary and early childhood education

Highly popular training courses

In addition to training for work communities, we organise training days for professionals in basic education and early childhood education. The current and popular courses created by Jaana Kiviluote, Doctor of Education and special education teacher, are based on the “Handling Feelings and Behaviour” teaching materials that were created in accordance with the new basic education curriculum. In this training course you will receive the “Handling Feelings and Behaviour” teacher’s manual as well as familiarise yourself in how to use and adapt it practically in your own work.

Teaching material to support students’ socio-emotional development

With the help of these materials, you can fulfil the requirement to teach emotional and interaction skills required by the basic education curriculum. The ready-made lesson suggestions in the manuals can be used to support students’ socio-emotional development by teaching emotional and interaction skills, anti-violence attitudes, and helping students find their own strengths. Emotion skills lessons are easy to put into practice and are also motivating, engaging, and useful for students. The teaching material also emphasises strengthening students’ self-esteem and increasing well-being. The research evidence shows that this training programme has been encouraging for both students and teachers!

Cards to support the learning of social and emotional skills

“Emotion Cards for Young People and Adults” and “Emotion Memory Game Cards”, both published by Kiviluote in January 2020, support the learning of emotional and social skills and are available at this training course. Also available at the training course are Emotion Cards, Strength Cards, Poster Set, and Evaluation Chart, published in January 2018, as well as the Emotion Memory Game and Strengths Memory Game Cards, published in 2019.
