This professional course is designed for the experienced
dog training instructor who wants to increase her/his effectiveness as an
advisor for difficult training and behavior issues. The course focuses on
problem solving, consultations and advanced teaching skills.
Along with
opportunities to "consult" on various topics and skills, you will be given short
study or written assignments each evening to provoke thought, increase
understanding and enhance your ability to articulate ideas. We will concentrate
on helping you to think critically so you can teach effectively!
You will also
be broken up into small groups and asked to create a professional presentation
on a topic to the rest of the class. Your presentation requires discussion,
analysis, creating a strategy or evaluating a situation. The group brainstorms
the issue then organizes their thoughts into an educational presentation. Often
groups perform skits or multi-media events! The limit on creativity is your
imagination. Great fun while you learn!
The curriculum is designed to improve
your competency and to help you look at new approaches to difficult training
issues. Expect an intense educational experience in a fun environment. |
