OVERVIEW

This workshop introduces you to the growing trend to deliver training by phone or conference call. You will explore new techniques and skills for this new delivery methodology.

Delivered in the form of a teleclass, the workshop models the methods taught in the program. Equivalent to a one-day workshop, the program includes two 2-hour teleclass sessions dedicated to the discussion of the content, and one 2-hour session dedicated to practice teaching and feedback.

During the workshop each participant will deliver a 10-minute practice lesson, and will receive feedback from the instructor and fellow learners. Participants will also do some preparation for the practice lesson outside of the teleclass. The course includes email and telephone access to the instructor.
