BRINGING PSYCHOLOGICAL INSIGHT TO TEACHING
Evidence-based, psychologically informed approaches to teaching are cornerstones of the LGEG philosophy. Our team of highly qualified clinicians and research psychologists has developed a holistic set of training programmes, toolkits, manuals and interventions for schools and education providers.
Our support tools are based on the latest peer reviewed research in developmental and educational psychology.
developmental psychology
early years/ 5 – 12 years / teens
The human brain’s development is use-dependent. This means that each stage of growth has its own set of capacities, strengths and learning strategies. Based on neurological studies and quantitative assessments of learning, our Developmental Psychology package gives teachers all they need to know to make their practice age-targeted and psychologically informed.
epistemic trust for teaching
Current developmental psychology research shows that the quality and effectiveness of learning is highly dependent on the quality of teacher-student relationships. The Epistemic Trust Teaching Framework allows the teacher to intentionally and explicitly use tools which foster the most effective learning relationships.
mentalisation for teaching
Harnessing the power of cognitive tools and mindfulness approaches, the Mentalisation for Teaching Framework helps teachers and school managers find the right individualised approach to every student, parent and teaching peer. Mentalisation is a validated tool proven to help teachers be more effective through applying a well-developed theory of mind and mindfulness approaches.
working with parents
Approaches to effective parent communication for heads of year, personal tutors and school managers. How to make parents collaborative supporters of the learning process and retain their loyal support.
supporting students with mental health difficulties
Poor mental health is one of the biggest obstacles to successful education and socialisation. Our expert clinicians help teachers and school counselors give children the tools to cope. Early identification of mental health difficulties. Teaching mindfulness as part of the curriculum.
staff well-being and mindfulness for teachers
Teaching is an emotionally taxing job, but there are multiple methods to tackle common symptoms of stress and burn-out. Our expert clinicians guide staff teams in becoming more resilient and able to support their own psychological well being.
avoiding burn-out for staff
Based on practical experience, this psychologically informed strategy helps school managers identify early signs of burn-out and support staff members through tricky high pressure patches.
