How do I learn to teach the programs?

Using an Educate the Educator Model

The Educate the Educator model prepares school professionals—including teachers, counselors, and administrators—to address student mental health in safe, developmentally appropriate ways. Educators can do this by normalizing conversations about mental health, building shared values and vocabulary, and being ready to support students who may be experiencing mental distress.

Each of our classroom education programs includes an implementation plan. To access a plan, visit the Resource Portal, navigate to the Level I, II, or III page for your program, and select Plan & Implement – How to Teach. Plans are available for both the standalone and Full program versions. An implementation training video—in which Erika’s Lighthouse staff walk you through the key steps—is also available on the Resource Portal.
