Description

As a COS Classroom Coach-in-Training, you will become a part of a group of highly skilled COSP Classroom Facilitators from around the world who all share a common interest - to develop additional coaching skills that help you to apply the science of attachment (as represented in the Circle of Security Classroom Approach) as you help educators bring an attachment lens to early care settings. We talk about COS as a behavior translation approach where we translate what seems to be dysfunctional or problematic behavior into communication about unmet needs. In theory, learning COS makes sense, but practically, when a child is pouring the pitcher of milk over another child’s head, it is difficult to sort out the underlying attachment need.

Receive expert coaching and insightful feedback, learn alongside other coaches in a safe and encouraging environment, gain new resources and strategies for effective coaching, and develop your coaching skills through video reflection and practical application.
