Welcome to RISE: a professional development programme that will:
Our programmes offer practical, integrated and evidence-based resilience training. The resilience journey delivers proven results, is flexible and can be customised to suit your unique requirements.
Did you know resilience underpins all 5 key competencies of the NZ School Curriculum?
Short session of 90 – 120 mins to each cluster. The objective of the keynote session is to give participants confidence and practical understanding in the basic disciplines of resilience and introduce the key concepts.
Includes Resilience Diagnostic and Workshops. For individual schools, we suggest a slightly longer half day session or, if possible, a whole one-day programme for teachers and support staff.
We offer ‘train the trainer’ programmes to help integrate Resilience into the daily culture of each school or at each cluster. The Skills developed through this training will support teachers in many aspects of their life and leadership.
Engage our team to help introduce the concept and practices of resilience to students, parents and families. Our diagnostic and online training is available to spread the language and skills of resilience across your school community.
A keynote/short session of 90 – 120 mins. The objective is to give participants confidence and practical understanding in the basic disciplines of resilience.
This includes:
1. The Science and Practice of Resilience
2. Understanding how resilience fails and rapid bounce techniques
3. Mastering the calm and focused state (biofeedback exercise)
4. Sleep and success rituals (powernaps, stretching and balance)
5. Daily disciplines of sustainable success in life and leadership
6. The high EQ leader (impulse control and positivity)
7. Attention, focus and the quiet mind
Introductory sessions are an effective way for clusters, CoL / Kāhui Ako and schools to explore, catalyse, or start the resilience journey.
For individual schools, we suggest a half or full day programme for teachers and support staff. Where numbers of participants are large (>30), we suggest dividing the group into a series of half day workshops, run over one day or more if necessary.
We have trialled this approach in over 40 schools with great interest and uptake. In the workshop we examine the principles in greater depth and allow for group discussion and the creation of practical strategies between participants.
We strongly recommend integrating a pre and post Resilience Diagnostic with the face to face training. This is an effective way to benchmark each school in the region against the collective cluster or CoL average. This can be co-ordinated nationally with the support of NZPF.
The Resilience Diagnostic offers each participant an assessment of his or her resilience (on a secure and confidential basis). This is valuable data and enables us to tailor specific training based on the metrics. If the school decides to take up the pre, post diagnostic with our online video training we will include a one year follow up diagnostic free of charge.
The online training is delivered via our Resilience Learning Platform called RAPT, complementing the face-to-face training. This provides access to the training 24/7 over a 12 month period. This reinforces the concepts and a discussion initiated in the workshop allows the teachers to bring the training into the classroom and assists with the induction of new teachers into the Resilience culture.
We offer ‘train the trainer’ programmes to help integrate Resilience into the daily culture of each school or at each cluster. The skills developed through this training will support teachers in many aspects of their life and leadership. Our Accredited Practitioner programme has been developed over a number of years. It is an ideal way to bring Resilience into the class room. We have included a brief overview below of what is involved in becoming a qualified and accredited practitioner.
What you receive:
1. Resilience Coach training and accreditation
2. The skills to administer and coach with our Diagnostic tools
3. Training to design and facilitate resilience training in-house
4. Certificate of accreditation and competence as a resilience coach
Engage our team to help introduce the concept and practices of resilience to students, parents and families. Our diagnostic and online training is available to spread the language and skills of resilience across your school community.
Our investment in this process is to offer every school entering RISE the opportunity to share this diagnostic tool free of charge to all students in their care. Establishing an annual benchmark will help bring awareness to the state of the nation and, we hope, initiate the conversation with young people to navigate emotional awareness and regulation, physical and mental wellbeing, and become more self aware.
Eventually we would like to see this initiative launch into a series of wellbeing briefs for students and their parents.
