Our Training Approach
TCIT-U’s Train-the-Trainer approach is designed to equip education and mental health professionals with the expertise to implement TCIT-U independently in schools and childcare settings. Key features of our training model are:
- High quality
- Evidence based
- Practical
- Sustainable
- Impactful
“The trainers coming on-site to observe, support, and coach in the field was invaluable”
TCIT-U training is based on our research, which has found that local education and mental health professionals can successfully implement intervention after completing training. Our goal is to build an effective, well prepared, TCIT-U Site Training team through a sequence of training and consultation activities over a one-year period:
- Initial workshop
- Onsite visits during delivery of TCIT-U with one group of teachers
- Telephone consultation during delivery of TCIT-U with a second group of teachers
- Review and discussion of teacher and child progress, and problem-solving, in consultation calls
- Completion of competency checks showing understanding and skills at delivering TCIT-U with fidelity
