Learn what constitutes effective teaching by learning
• to plan a lesson and write a lesson outline
• about teaching methods: interactive learning and experiential learning
• to select methods that correspond to what students learn
• the basic skills of delivery, facilitation, and classroom management
• about types of assessment and its purposes, and oral-feedback skills
• basic communication and interpersonal skills
• about the importance of teaching by example
• about the need for systematic training and education.
One of many excersises during Teacher Training Course
There are lots of group exercises, class discussions, opportunities for experiential learning, and a few class presentations. The courses are taught with the aid of an overhead projector and flip charts. This first course is suitable for both novice and experienced teachers. It is particularly appropriate for devotees who train other devotees. It is fun, intensive, highly interactive, and transformational. All students will receive a handbook that includes extensive notes and course worksheets. There is little or no homework. No exams. Informal assessment will be made mainly by oral feedback. (Participants from outside the College who attend all sessions of the first course, in the fall, receive a certificate of completion that allows them to take the second Teacher Training Course, in the spring. TTC II is assessed formally, by a sixty-minute presentation.)
