Instructions for Training Session
Licensed
Layered Curriculum® Trainer
On-Line Training
April 18 - 19, 2008.
Who is Eligible to
be a Trainer?
Anyone with hands-on practical experience with Layered Curriculum® who has attended a full day workshop presented by Kathie Nunley.
What are the advantages
to being a licensed Trainer?
Having expertise in Layered Curriculum® naturally puts you
in-demand for sharing your knowledge with colleagues and conducting professional
development sessions. Having a license to use the trademark allows you to charge
money for your presentations. Licensed trainers are also
eligible to receive rebates on book orders made to their clients and are referred
out for follow-up workshops by Kathie Nunley. You may
want to conduct workshops only in your immediate area or you may be looking
to launch a sideline business nation-wide. The choices are yours.
What is involved
in the training?
In the past, our trainers weekends were held at various sites around the US.
A total of 15 hours of training was held between 5pm on Friday and noon on
Sunday of the weekend. This is our first "online" training session
so we have a bit more latitude with schedules. You will be required to be "online"
in
the real-time web conference room from 5 - 7pm on Friday and 10am - 4pm on Saturday.
Other activities will take about 3 hours of your time
during the follow-up week but will be at your convenience. In addition, before
getting a license you will be required to develop 4 additional
Layered Curriculum® units outside your teaching field as well as a paper
comparing Layered Curriculum to 2 other teaching models, and submit an
outline of your intended presentation. Details of this will come with the course
description.
For the actual training sessions, you will need a computer with
Windows 2000 or XP with a high speed Internet connection (not wireless) and
a
headset / microphone.
How do I maintain
a License?
Licenses are granted for one calendar year. Licenses are renewed each December for trainers actively using them.
How much does it
Cost?
The cost of the training session is $295.00. You can pay with a check, Visa
/ Mastercard or a School Purchase Order. There is no cost
to maintain or renew your license. Every trainer determines their own speaking
fees and those fees belong solely to you.
