Coaching and training

The CDSE supports schools in developing an educational culture that promotes mental health and inclusion, and in implementing structuring tools such as ETEP. This support may include observation, co-intervention, supervision and reinforcement of pedagogical practices.

Developmental Therapy/Developmental Education (ETEP)

ETEP is an educational approach that supports the socio-emotional development of children and young people and provides a professional foundation for the work of the CDSE. It promotes a shared professional mindset and respectful, strengths-based language. The CDSE trains its staff in ETEP and also offers ETEP training to schools each year.
