Learning Together

Gentle Teaching Training Pack

Imagine you possessed techniques which could turn someone's violent outbursts into a voluntary act of human warmth. If you could calm and transform the uncontrolled behavior you encounter day to day.

The Learning together training pack shows how you can develop these practical work skills. It is based on the work of the American specialist Dan Hobbs, the world's leading teacher of non- aversive approaches to challenging behavior, known as Gentle Teaching. 

The pack focuses on the practical application of Gentle Teaching principles, acknowledging that the proponents of this approach are too often talkers who seldom convert concepts  into  action. It explains how to evolve these ideas into a systematic work plan: a series of methods which enable professionals in direct care to  make measured progress with people with severe  challenges.

The underlying philosophy of Gentle Teaching is about helping people to build relationships. Through unconditional acceptance, tolerance and vigilance in searching for opportunities to show warmth and appreciation, the teacher finds pathways to help an individual  towards a greater involvement in life and openness  to other people. 

This is a unique opportunity to try out this much acclaimed training pack.
