A Powerful and Simple Approach

The simplicity and power of this approach are remarkable. The extent to which the Founders of this movement have been able to continuously adapt, improve, and apply this simplistic approach to new and different populations and applications is stunning.

What LeARNER'S ARE SAYING

A Great Investment

If you are interested in refining your teaching skills this is a great investment!

Exceptional Teaching

I thoroughly enjoyed the TAGteach level 1 course. It was very well structured and taught me powerful, practical techniques I can use in almost any teaching situation. 

It was practical and we had the opportunity to practice the techniques in real life situations giving me a lot of confidence to immediately apply the techniques.

Luca is an exceptional teacher - he brought enthusiasm and energy to our lessons and gave unlimited support with assignments and queries.

What's Included in this Course?

Course Structure

This is a 5-week course that requires no previous knowledge of TAGteach.

The course will run for 5 weeks, with one 2-hour virtual lesson every  week and one 1-hour informal drop-in office hour each week.

Virtual Lessons with Your Instructor

Attendance at the virtual lessons is MANDATORY in order to obtain certification. There may be some leeway to miss one class, but missing more than one will disqualify you from obtaining certification. We'll do our best to accommodate you if you need to miss a class.

Each class will include:

- Lecture

- Demonstrations

- Interactive activities

- Weekly review activities

Each office hour will include:

- Homework review

- Informal discussions

- Q&A

Office hours are not mandatory, but they are a very popular part of the course. They are a great opportunity to present your homework for discussion, bring up any issues you've had with your own teaching during the week and ask your instructor any questions you might have.
