How do I learn to teach the programs?

Using an Educate the Educator Model

Educating the educator prepares school professionals to tackle mental health in safe, appropriate ways. Educators can do this by normalizing conversations, building shared values and vocabularies, and being ready to assist students who may be experiencing mental distress.

Each of our three classroom education programs offers an implementation plan. These plans can be accessed on the Resource Portal on each of the Level I, II or III pages under “Plan & Implement - How to Teach.” There is a plan for teaching the one-day program or the Full program as well as an implementation training video you can watch where the Erika’s Lighthouse staff walks you through important information.
