The Incredible Years® Teacher Practice Group

The Incredible Years® Teacher Reference group has been developed to be a resource to the New Zealand IYT workforce. The primary function of this group is to support the delivery of the IY Teacher Classroom Management programme in the New Zealand context.

This practice group is comprised of representation from MOE (including mentors), Whāraurau, RTLB from both the North and South Islands, and NGOs. There is representation of group leaders/peer coaches delivering to kaiako/teachers from kura kaupapa Māori, schools, and early learning centres. This group is a collaborative model in design, and the group seeks input from others as required.


IYT practice questions sent to [email protected] are considered at meetings held monthly.
