The Instructor Training course is divided into 6 modules that are sent to you during the first 3 months of your training. You may complete the modules in any order but each module must be completed. There is a final examination (both physical and written) to ensure that you understand the material fully before you go out into the Academic World and begin to positively influence the lives of children and adults with learning challenges.
Introduction The ‘BIG’ picture.
Module 1. Understanding the physical syllabus, the physical effects of the exercises /drills and the benefits of success on ‘self esteem.’
Module 2. Learning Challenges; A.D.H.D., Dyslexia, Asperger’s, Dyspraxia, dis-illusioned, dis-appointed, dis-pondent etc. Learning styles and communication methods.
Module 3. How our brain works. Creating associations, hemispheric communication enhancement. The effects of stretching and cross motor techniques. Memory enhancement methods
Module 5. Language, how we use it, what it means and how to clean it up. The emotional bank account. The Pygmalian study.
Module 6. The physical syllabus. How each part of it enhances learning. More fun drills than improve learning ability.
Physical test, an opportunity for you to demonstrate that you understand how the physical aspects of the syllabus work.
Written test, an opportunity for you to show that you understand about learning challenges, learning styles, egos, emotions and how it all affects learning.
NOTE
It is impossible to fail this course. You may of course need to re-sit the physical and/or emotional parts of the test but you cannot fail. We will work with you until you understand the material fully and confidently, thus achieving a pass mark. Our goal is to create many Brain Dojo instructors who have the confidence to inspire thousands of children (and adults) to learn by any method they choose. |
