The therapeutic teaching course is for those schools who want to increase their understanding of trauma informed practise and learn exactly how to embed therapeutic ways of working. Our online course includes six modules that are essential pillars for learning and will help you not only learn trauma informed and attachment aware theory, but learn exactly how to apply this to your settings following a 7-stage approach taught in an easy-to-follow graduated way to your whole staff team. The course is accessible 24 hours a day, Every member of staff receives their own login, and you get a lifetime subscription that allows you to continue to embed the approach as you welcome new staff.
The Therapeutic Teaching Course
A step-by-step approach to support children’s wellbeing, mental health and behaviour. Helping you become trauma informed and attachment aware
Head Teacher
Last year we signed up for the whole staff TPC online training units. Our whole school SEMH has dropped by 50%. The classrooms are calmer and so are staff. We have also seen a drop in behaviour incidents.
What’s Included
The Course Modules
- Childhood trauma and the brain
- Attachment in the context of the classroom
- Therapeutic teaching skills
- Connection vs disconnection when approaching behaviour
- Creating a therapeutic environment (includes some information on therapeutic classrooms
- Cultivating an emotionally intelligent class
All modules explore the relevant theory to establish the why and then focus on the how, walking you through strategies and steps that link to the theory so that you can develop the insight, knowledge and skills you need in a graduated way that will promote real change. The modules will build up the therapeutic teaching steps and approach over time allowing you to implement and embed change in a way that will shift culture

Benefits of our online learning platform
The process
Sign up to the course
Complete our sign up form and we will enrol every member of staff onto the course platform ready for you to begin to roll things out. Let us know if you’d like the senior leadership team to have access first to make a plan. We will work with whatever suits you best!
Make a plan
Introduce your leadership team to the course so that they can get familiar with the learning platform and make a plan for the year. You may choose to complete all modules over a few terms and spend the rest of the year focusing on embedding the approach and tweaking practice. Whatever works best for you!
Roll it out
Once you have a plan of action, introduce it to your staff in a twilight meeting or on an inset day and let them know the plan for completing the modules. You might ask them to do them individually by a certain date, or together in your twilight meetings.
Embed and monitor impact!
As you all work through the modules, make sure you are using the resources available to help you all implement what you have learnt. You will begin to adapt your behaviour policy and environments and you will begin to see changes to staff language and responses. Before you know it you will see a significant impact on the children’s behaviour and emotional intelligence. You can monitor before and after data from your Cpoms records, attendance and level of SEMH needs to evidence this.
