Thinking about teaching a class?

Are you currently teaching but struggling with generational differences in learning styles and life approach?

Have you thought of sharing your knowledge with others,
but are unsure how to create an effective, successful class?

Are you feeling burned out and stressed trying
to meet the needs of your students?

Teaching can be fun and rewarding and can make powerful differences in someone’s life.  But, teaching can also be confusing, frustrating and at times overwhelming.  Today’s classes are made up of diverse populations, from baby boomers to Gen Y’ers and all those in between; from all ethnicities, economic and cultural backgrounds and myriad experiences.  This creates a diverse tapestry of resources, opportunities and challenges for the adult student and the teacher.  Teaching adults effectively and easily is a skill that can be learned or enhanced with an understanding of some basic theories and methods. With the right knowledge and tools, those challenges can be turned into strengths to make the classroom experience fun and successful.

While exploring success criteria for students and instructors, this class will help the participant create a toolbox of skills that will bring ease and confidence in creating and teaching classes for the adult student.  These tools will include:

• understanding generational differences
• how to ensure students understand and grasp the material
• techniques that allow student involvement, interest and participation
• how to create a class that allows the instructor to be relaxed, confident and have fun too.

This experiential includes opportunity to receive peer support as well as one on one coaching throughout the process.  While the course meets the requirements to become a massage therapy instructor in the states of Texas, it is applicable for anyone planning to or currently teaching adults.

This course is excellent for anyone planning to teach adults and while it meets the State of Texas requirements for Massage Therapy Instructor Certification it is not limited in focus.
