Interested in becoming a Nonviolent Parent Educator?

Theoretical Overview of Nonviolent Child Raising and Developmental Trauma:  A 100-hour intensive course of study led by Ruth Beaglehole (founder and former Executive Director of Echo Parenting & Education) to review the principles and practices of nonviolent child raising and the research that informs it.   In an alive, creative, and dynamic learning environment participants will be immersed in the philosophical underpinnings and pedagogical framework for teaching parent education in multiple settings. This will be the second year of incorporating a trauma curriculum, which covers the neurobiology of trauma, identifying trauma responses and symptoms, regulation strategies, and trauma recovery.

 

Practicum: An eight-week practicum for participants who have completed the first part of TCC and wish to become certified in the Echo Parenting & Education nonviolent parenting curriculum. The main goal of the practicum is to provide opportunities to practice teaching with supervision from Ruth and Echo staff who will provide feedback and support to facilitate development of skills. Participation in the practicum does not guarantee certification. Certification will be determined on an individual basis during the praticum.
