RETURNING TO THE SOURCE Fall 2019
Become a better, more effective and more successful Awareness Through Movement® teacher
Whether you’re just starting to teach ATM® classes or you’ve been doing it for a while, RETURNING TO THE SOURCE (RTTS) will take your abilities to the next level.
In RTTS, you learn the conceptual tools needed to easily and reliably figure out what’s behind lessons, that is to say, you’ll understand how each ATM makes learning possible and what it has to teach. You also develop the skills required to teach ATM to its full potential.
When you know what’s behind a lesson — what holds it together and what makes it work — you can teach with poise and calm conviction.
When you know what’s behind a lesson, you will:
- Know what to look for and why.
- Understand what each ATM has to teach.
- Better bring out your students’ ability to learn.
- Improve your observational acuity
RETURNING TO THE SOURCE is comprehensive
