What is the Inner Strength Teacher Training?

The Inner Strength teen mindfulness teacher training is an 80 hour program to enable you to teach the valuable tools of mindfulness and developmental thinking to high school students. The Inner Strength System(TM) is a unique mindfulness school program which teaches adolescents powerful and evidence-based focus, stress reduction, and compassion tools, all set in a framework of cultural and physiological development. Teens learn to see their experience in a larger context, developing important flexibility and resilience of thinking, critical to 21st century learning. They become archaeologists of themselves, learning to explore their personal experience as they feel it and as a result of 300 million years of influence. These tools and perspectives make all the difference, turning a life burdened by overwhelm into a life filled with curiosity and interest.

In the Inner Strength Teacher Training, you will learn how to teach the 12-week Inner Strength program. You will also receive ongoing support once you begin bringing these tools into the classroom. The Inner Strength Foundation runs over 70 programs per year in the Philadelphia School System. Successful graduates may apply to become a teacher for the Inner Strength Foundation.

The Developmental Perspective (Level 2) builds on the mindfulness practices learned in Foundations of Mindfulness (Level 1). The Developmental Perspective is required to receive the Inner Strength Teachers’ Certificate of Completion.[/cs_text][cs_text class=”cs-ta-left”]

What do the teens learn?

— Self Support & Focus: Tools to de-stress and self-regulate
— Adolescent Brain: 300 million years of brain development
— Effects of Cultural Development: Depersonalizing the Experience of Stress
— The Art & Science of Relationship: Empathy & Compassion Building

Unlock access to liberating perspectives for teens.

Teaching the Inner Strength Teen Programis personally rewarding. New insights catalyze our own growth and transformation. Not only do we learn how to teach inner strength for outer stability, we develop that in our own lives.

When lightbulbs go off for students and they connect the dots, both the teens and the teachers discover unexpected joy and depth.

The unique holistic perspective of the Inner Strength System

In Part II of the Inner Strength teacher training you will develop the understanding and ability to teach students to see their experience in a larger context.

You will learn how to:
— Give simple and graspable explanations for how teens can take more responsibility for themselves by understanding the neurological triggers that have developed over 300 million years.
— Guide students back into a simpler time in history, enabling them to appreciate the advances they benefit from and reduce the insecurity they feel in relationship to the complexity of modern culture.
— Integrate these tools with the practice of mindful exercises.

Teen benefit greatly from learning how to calm themselves and gain some emotional stability. Their sense of wonder and curiosity awakens when they start to feel empowered to engage with the culture, the world, and their feelings with the interest of a scientist. As students become explorers of their experience in a systematic way, they better understand how history or biology has a direct effect on them and how their learning can take on new meaning. In this day and age, with technology advancing so rapidly, we as educators are preparing students for a world none of us can imagine. Training teens to work with complexity and to think systemically prepares them to be flexible, resilient, and engaged and so be better able to succeed and realize their higher goals.[/cs_text][x_gap size=”20px” class=”cs-hide-xl cs-hide-lg cs-hide-md”][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text class=”toolbox”]

Brain Science & The Teen Brain

As sophisticated as we are, we are still influenced by our reptilian brain, which has been honed to trigger fight and fear responses for over 300 million years. The teen brain is also undergoing seismic chemical shifts, which influence judgement, perception, and responses. Learning about these physiological changes helps teens become responsible for themselves, and gain confidence during this turbulent stage of life.

Cultural Development

Our culture and social structures have made some huge leaps in the last 800 years. Connecting the dots between the greater freedoms we have now, the broader personal responsibility and choices, and our levels of stress and uncertainty gives students new ways to work with their own experience.
