Presentation Transcript

  1. Durham-Toronto Instructor Training Seminars • Held twice yearly in September and January, one to two weeks before a group of classes are scheduled to begin. • Located at a retreat centre, with overnight accommodation and all meals provided. • Cost is covered by the area and a contribution of $20 per person for social refreshments. • Open to new and experienced instructors. • CLC2 conducts their seminar concurrent with CLC1.

  2. Why Use this Training Format? • Instructors must attend the complete seminar, regardless of their level of experience. • Weekend format has a lasting motivational effect on individuals. • Activities begin early Friday evening and conclude at noon on Sunday with lunch. • Team bonding assists improved communication, in-depth understanding of the course and material, aiding in a more enjoyable instructional and team experience. • Promotes a sense of “family”, cultivates loyalty. D -T Seminars are AWESOME!

  3. How We Do It: About 6 Weeks Before Seminar • Four Seminar Leaders and Chief Instructors brainstorm ideas for workshops. • Chief Instructors provide feedback from previous class visits to determine areas of weakness. • Previous Seminar feedback is used to gauge what people find most beneficial. • A seminar theme and theme-related Christopher Talk are created by an instructor who is invited by the Chief Instructors. • A total of three Christopher Talks are delivered during the weekend.

  4. How We Do It: continued… • The Social Chair identifies names for each of the small groups and coordinates the Saturday night social event/activities. • President and Chief Instructors make up the instructional teams based on instructor availability (i.e., day of week), level of experience, strengths/weaknesses, and location. • VP brings all class supplies for distribution to the newly formed teams. • President opens the seminar and leads the Sunday morning Agape, closing the formal activities.

  5. Who Does What? • Seminar Leaders provide hosting support to the Chief Instructors and are available all weekend to assist and support participants. • Instructors are allocated to small groups of 3-5 - based on skill and level of experience; groups work together throughout the learning sessions. • CLC2 holds separate learning sessions and joins CLC1 for shared workshop presentations, social activities and meals. • Area VP secures seminar locations and acts as liaison between the facility and attendees; coordinates break time and evening refreshments. • Both CLC1 and CLC2 Chief Instructors Coordinate and host the seminar. • One Chief Instructor creates the Agenda following the established format.
