Indian Trail, NC (PRWEB) February 11, 2004-–TAGteach International in
association with A Dancer’s Dream is offering a seminar for professional
certification of TAGteach instructors. Attendees will learn how to apply the
TAGteach method and will receive standing as TT1 certified teachers upon
successful completion of the 2 ½ -day program. The seminar will be held in
Marblehead MA at the studios of A Dancer’s Dream on July 16-18,
2004.
TAGteach is teaching with acoustical guidance, and is used for
fast-track learning in athletes and students. The teacher or coach “tags”
correct performance of skill elements with a click sound. The student’s brain
does not have to process corrections, emotions or translations while the body is
trying to perform complicated movements. The TAG trained athlete learns to react
to this "data" with lightning fast speed while building muscle memory and
confidence. Students and teachers in any discipline can benefit from this
no-correction method of teaching.
"TAGteach is wonderful for children.
They learn so much faster, they are spared the emotional downside of endless
corrections, they learn empathy and partnership as they tag each other, and
learning through reinforcement is physiologically an elating, joyful experience.
What a great way to learn", says Karen Pryor, Behavioral Scientist and
best-selling author of "Don’t Shoot the Dog – The new art of teaching and
training”.
TAGteach has been used in many disciplines, including artistic
gymnastics, Special Olympic rhythmic gymnastics, dance, soccer, volleyball,
martial arts, speech pathology and kindergarten classes. “Tagging has taught my
students to think for themselves”, says Amy Roberts who teaches hearing-impaired
kindergarten students.
TAGteach certification will be of interest to
teachers and coaches who would like to move beyond correction-based teaching and
who would like to demonstrate their commitment to the emotional well-being of
students. The 2 ½ -day seminar will bring together coaches and teachers from
many disciplines to learn from the founders of TAGteach in historic Marblehead
MA on July 16-18, 2004.
