Auditors Response to Teacher Training June 2004

I was thrilled to see how effectively partner practice techniques were used during the week with candidates and auditing teachers. It served to deepen and clarify their understanding of specific movements. Everyone was an “engaged learner.” It was very powerful. In terms of my own learning, I came away from the accreditation with a whole new “bag of tricks” in how to teach TCC. I am much more grounded and clear about the essentials of particular movements and that has helped me to become a better teacher. I look forward to another accreditation!

Still of consideration are teacher candidates who come to training less prepared because they did not attend an intensive, a workshop, and or a teacher prep course. This adds undue stress to those candidates. Fortunately, the Northern California Teachers “audited” in abundance and provided great enthusiasm and support for the candidates. This was a congenial and hard-working group of candidates who “pulled out the stops” and made tremendous strides toward moving to the next level with their TCC practice. Auditing is a privilege and a source of great joy for me as a teacher — an opportunity to give back to the TCC community and strengthen the bonds between new teachers and those who are more experienced.

Wow, what wonder to audit a teacher training for a week! (My fifth training). This was an opportunity to see others and myself grow! As candidates grew I noticed something inside me growing. For all of us, it was confidence, courage, and change. Together we were enjoying the impermanence and flowing into Joy and into Life!
