What is the Inner Strength System Teacher Training?
The Inner Strength teen mindfulness teacher training prepares you to support teens in a classroom setting with the tools of mindful self reflection and kindness. The unique aspect of the Inner Strength program is its emphasis on context, on understanding the framework of a child’s experience and understanding the developmental perspective that has created the conditions we experience in our bodies, in our lives and in our culture today. Learning to think and view the world as an inter-related system is empowering for both educator and student. This developmental or systemic perspective has been widely praised and is explained in detail in the book The Conscious Classroom.
Learn the fundamentals of mindfulness
The Fundamentals of Mindfulness, Part I is a 36 hour program to enable you to teach 7 evidence-based tools of mindfulness within a developmental context to high school students. The Inner Strength System(TM) is a unique mindfulness school program which teaches adolescents tools to focus, reduce stress and anxiety, cultivate an awareness of physical self care related to athletic pursuits and eating habits, and ways to cultivate compassion and care, reducing anger, resentment, vindictiveness, and self-harm. You will learn these 7 tools, practice them in a guided video setting, and explore them within a framework of cultural and physiological development.
Unlock access to liberating perspectives
When teens learn to see their experience in a systemic framework, they develop important 21st century skills including flexibility and resilience of thinking. They learn to become archaeologists of themselves, exploring 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 for challenged youth, turning a life burdened by overwhelm into a life filled with curiosity and interest.
When lightbulbs go off for students and they connect the dots, both the teens and the teachers discover unexpected joy and depth.
Teaching the Inner Strength Teen Program is 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.
Practice Trauma Informed tools
For students who have adverse early childhood experiences or other exposure to trauma, the mindfulness tools can help them move through conditioned reactions and imprints, helping teens to regain control over their responses and their lives. For psychologists, social workers, pediatricians, counselors or other helpers, adding these mindfulness tools to your repertoire of skills will help you soothe and support youth in new ways.
In the Inner Strength Teacher Training, you will learn how to teach the mindfulness exercises which form the foundation of the 12-week Inner Strength System. Part 1 is required in order to train in the Inner Strength Developmental Perspective (Teacher Training Part 2) and complete the training for the Inner Strength System 12-week Program.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”true” class=”cs-ta-center section” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 0px;background-position: 50% 50%;”][cs_row inner_container=”false” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_image type=”none” src=”https://www.innerstrengthfoundation.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ISF-TT-banner-break3.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=”” class=”mbn” style=”width: 100%;”][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section bg_color=”#ffffff” parallax=”false” class=”cs-ta-center section” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 65px 0px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto 45px;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h2″ accent=”false” class=”man”]Inner Strength Teacher Training Details[/x_custom_headline][x_line style=”margin: 20px auto 25px;border-top-color: hsl(214, 70%, 38%);border-top-width: 2px;”][cs_text class=”cs-ta-left” style=”max-width: 750px;margin: 0 auto;”]The Teacher Training is designed for optimal support.

Practicing Love & Kindness
The Art & Science of Relationships
One of the biggest stressors for teens is their social life. With the advent of social media, this is even more challenging as they are exposed and vulnerable in new and hard to manage ways.

— Recognize whether they are practicing kindness or meanness to themselves.

— Manage their responses and reactions so they find the most constructive way to respond when their feelings are heated.

The unique holistic perspective of the Inner Strength System(TM)
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.

Learning about these physiological changes helps teens become responsible for themselves, and gain confidence during this turbulent stage of life.
