There are six places remaining on the ART Module 2F (Foundation Skills) course that is being run at Ardleigh on June 28th.
This course shows new and experienced teachers how to support their students and develop the necessary foundation skills for good ringing and then move forward to ringing changes.
The practical exercises explain learning in small, structured steps and are delivered in a way that is entertaining for the new ringer. The theory sessions cover foundation skills, teaching theory, running practices, team building and how to motivate and retain your ringers. All essential skills for any tower!
You will learn through a mixture of practical and classroom sessions including:
- Focus on the foundation skills
- How to teach call changes
- An exploration of kaleidoscope ringing
- Different ways to introduce covering and Plain Hunt.
- Theory sessions include the development of coaching skills.
You do not have to have taken the M1 course to come on this M2F day. The cost is £30 plus there will be the opportunity of a pub lunch or you can bring a packed lunch. If the cost is prohibitive for anyone, do talk to me about applying for a grant.
The course is highly recommended by many ringers who are involved in running tower practices. A local tower captain said of her experience: “I applied for the M2F course with some scepticism but on arrival was surprised at the professional way the course was delivered. It was a friendly, easy going delivery packed full with great activities and practical ideas on how to put them into practice. I am now confident to be able to help my learners to reach goals by taking interesting smaller steps where necessary, keeping their interest and enabling them to enjoy the challenges I present.”
