Aims of the VTE Teacher Training Seminar

 

 

 

This five-day intensive course is highly participatory and suitable to a

broad spectrum of devotees with a wide range of teaching experience. It is

particularly appropriate for bhakta and bhaktin leaders and others involved

in training devotees. Preachers, managers, GBC ministers and others

interested in systematic training and education will also find it of immense

value and interest. The aims of this preliminary course are as follows;

 

 

 

1. To help students understand what constitutes effective teaching and

facilitation and to formulate corresponding policies

 

2. To equip students with the skills required to plan a lesson and to write

a corresponding lesson outline

 

3. To broaden students’ understanding of teaching styles and methods and to

specifically introduce them to interactive and experiential learning

 

4. To help students understand the different categories of what we learn and

to select corresponding and appropriate learning methods

 

5. To equip devotees with the basic skills of delivery, facilitation and

classroom management

 

6. To briefly introduce students to the various types of assessment, and its

purposes, and to equip them with oral-feedback skills

 

7. To equip the student with basic communication and interpersonal skills

 

8. To convince students of the necessity of exhibiting exemplary personal

behaviour in order to effectively teach and influence others

 

9. To familiarise devotees with the work of the VTE (Vaishnava Training and

Education) and to help them understand the principles and values behind the

scheme.

 

10. To give devotees enthusiasm for systematic training and education, by

providing them with first-hand experience of its effectiveness and by

exploring its relevance to personal, social, moral and spiritual development

 

11. To qualify candidates for further VTE Courses

 

12. To encourage a network of trainers to support and promote their specific

interests and concerns.

 

 

 

All participants will receive a Student Handbook, which will includes

extensive notes as well as course worksheets. The cost of these and other

handouts is normally included in the tutorial fees. .
