Course Description: In this 4-day hands-on course, those who aspire to teach at the professional continuing education level will prepare for the application process and delve into the principles of adult learning:
- Learn how to write and effectively use a syllabus, lesson plans and learning outcomes
- Choose and use teaching strategies that engage your students’ interest
- Hone your presentation skills to bring in rave reviews
- Develop a step-by-step plan for obtaining the certification that’s right for your course
Come prepared to absolutely have fun and to also be satisfyingly serious.
If you are not currently teaching, but want to begin, the following is recommended:
- Minimum 4 years utilizing the modality to be taught in a full-time practice.
- Advanced certifications in the modality or approach to be taught and/or in related approaches, including certification to teach if that is customary in the modality.
- Clear cut ideas for a course to the point that parts of your ideas are already in writing and perhaps parts of it have been preliminarily taught informally.
Instructor’s Note: This is a true workshop. Yes, you will get lots of information, but you will also put what you learn to use right in this workshop. Come prepared to write syllabi, learning objectives and lesson plans for your class, actually try out part of your presentation with your classmates, prepare a written plan for implementation of your marketing strategy, decide what level of certification is right for you, and if it is National Certification, actually begin to fill out the NCBTMB application in class.
