The Southwest Ontario locations have organized weekly Zoom sessions on Sundays from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM EST starting September 1st to gather all instructors and interested members to discuss instructor training issues.
Starts September 1st and will run weekly to the end of the year.
The purpose of the sessions is to discuss best practices in how to teach each type of class. Each type of class will be covered over a four-week period. The importance of the instructor’s form will be stressed as well as examples of the form (model / example) that is appropriate for the level of the class. A portion of the class will be dedicated to your own Tai Chi development stressing the importance of continuing to develop your own foundations / attending a class as a student. The curriculum for each type of class will be reviewed.
