Teacher Training Course 2
Oct 28 - Nov 2, 2009
The VTE Teacher Training Course 2 is a 36-hour seminar for devotees wishing to organize and facilitate courses and presentations. It is especially recommended for those pursuing outreach, training, and education within ISKCON. We focus on classroom - delivery skills, particularly those required for an interactive and experiential approach to teaching. Students will be trained to take into consideration, and address, the needs and learning styles of varied audiences. These skills embrace the best of both progressive and traditional (Vaishnava) values.
Each student is required to prepare and deliver one five-minute and one forty-minute presentation. There is little or no written assessment. The VTE Teacher Training Course I Certificate is a pre-requisite (unless, at the discretion of the teacher, the candidate is considered to have the requisite skills, or the candidate has professional experience).
