Who will be Involved?

Throughout the KooLKIDS program there are three key people involved in facilitating change and supporting children through their learning: The Facilitator, The Classroom Teacher and the Support Person.

The Facilitator

The KooLKIDS facilitators are the school professional trained to become KooLKIDS facilitators. Facilitators may be classroom teachers and other school professionals (e.g., a Guidance Counsellor, School Psychologist, Learning Support Teacher, Behaviour Support Teacher). Multiple school professionals can be trained as KooLKIDS facilitators.

The Classroom Teacher

Classroom teachers are at the core of the KooLKIDS program and are often the primary KooLKIDS facilitator for their class. They are able to deliver the program to their own classes, with another professional in their school who may also be trained in KooLKIDS as a facilitator. Teachers are aware of what occurs within the school and within their classrooms and therefore have invaluable information for tailoring the program to the needs of their children.

The Support Person

The support person is an integral part of the child's change process. Their role is to provide a link to the children's life outside of school in order to assist them to generalise the learnings from the program to their everyday lives and to help them feel comfortable and relaxed in the process of change. Parents/Carers /Guardians are ideal candidates for the role of support person and can continue to support the child after the program has been completed, by reviewing key strategies and progress with the child.
