Heart Centered Teaching
Igniting the Genius of Your Students:
ENROLL NOW.
Heart Centered Teaching is a creative, practical, inspiring class that will transform you from an average teacher into being a master teacher of adult learning.
Adult students have already completed their formal education, and are seeking new ways to grow, to learn new skills, to better understand themselves, and be more successful in their lives. They thrive in supportive community, where they can share their insights and participate in the learning process. Their goal is not only to expand their thinking but to transform their lives. You have an opportunity to not only offer your expertise and knowledge, but to offer ways in which they can achieve the transformational learning that they are seeking.
This class answers these questions:
- How do you create a heart-centered learning environment for the adult student?
- How do you design exciting powerful experiential exercises so that your student may participate in their learning process?
- How will you manage the challenging personalities you will encounter, the amount of information that must be passed, and how to create a nourishing, supportive class flow?
- How will you stay inspired and continue to refresh yourself so that you can be the master teacher that you came here to be?
- How will you learn to listen to the heart of the class, to go deeper, and to align yourself with the dynamics of Heart centered learning that often produces magical results.
- How can you ignite the heart and the genius of your student so that they may go out into the world with greater levels of respect for others, understanding of themselves, and readiness to give their gift to the world?
In this class we will address and answer all of these questions and more.
