Instructor Mandatory Workshop 2017
September 23, 2017 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
The Education Committee requests your presence at your choice of one of the following dates:
- Saturday August 26, 2017 at the Minnesota School of Horseshoe.
- Sunday August 27, 2017 at the Minnesota School of Horseshoe.
- Saturday September 23, 2017 at the Wasmund shop in Cleveland
- We will make other dates available if necessary
The Education Committee would like to invite you to discuss the new curriculum we have set with a Beginners 2 day, a beginner’s Intermediate 1 Day and the beginner’s projects 1 day class.
The Guild’s classes use bits and pieces of lessons 1-25 of Controlled Hand Forging Curriculum for the last 4 years and feel it was the correct change.
Lessons can be viewed at: http://www.abana.org/resources/education/chf.shtml
We will gather around 8:00 for a cup of coffee and a donut and at 8:30 sharp begin the introduction of the Curriculum.
We feel it must be mandatory for all instructors (new and experienced) to attend this informative session, whether teaching the beginners class or any other class in the Guild setting.
Taking ideas from student evaluation sheets, it has been determined by the Education Committee that we all need to retrain. There will be some initial training for instructors to get all of us back on track, including:
- How to do a demonstration of a written lesson.
- Teaching to the lesson without wandering.
- The demonstrator / coach method of instruction.
- The proper time to interject alternate methods.
- Ideas on how to motivate a student.
- The right time to have fun.
All attendees will receive a token of certification as a guild Instructor.
