Instructor's Guide to Kenpo released soon
February 3, 2011
Will Piper noticed that many students moving into the ranks of instructors have little if any training to prepare them for the tasks necessary to competently transfer their knowledge to the next generation of students. You can't just put on a black belt and magically become a qualified teacher.
This new 75 page "guide" is used at Mr. Piper's Fort Worth Texas school in his 12-week program for students required to teach 200 hours as part of his Black Belt program.
In this manual we explore such things as: how different people learn differently, expectations of parents, children, and adult students.
This manual gives insight into what takes "a good teacher" and transforms him or her into "a great teacher". This provides a skill set not found in any other book on American Kenpo.
There are several books out there on how to teach martial arts, teaching kids, etc. But these books do not cover the "Teaching Methodology" explained in detail in this manual.
After completing the 12-week course that this manual is the core of, my student instructors move from "what do I do now?" to a confident instructor who know how to research a class, write a lesson...
