VTE Teacher Training Two

Saturday 3rd -Thursday 8th May 2003

Facilitator: Rasamandala Das

Cost: 45 Euro + accommodation*

The VTE Teacher Training Course Two (TTC2) is an intensive six-day seminar for devotees wishing to organize and facilitate VTE courses, or aspiring to teach at comparable levels of competence. It is especially recommended for devotees pursuing ISKCON careers within outreach, training, education, etc. We focus on classroom delivery skills, particularly those required of an interactive and experiential approach. These skills embrace the best of both progressive and traditional (Vaishnava) values.

Each student is required to prepare and deliver one five-minute and one forty-minute presentation. There is little or no written assessment. The TTC1 Certificate is a prerequisite for this course (unless, and at the discretion of the VTE, the candidate has professional experience.) We strongly recommend candidates to get some experience in teaching between these two courses.

Students will receive a VTE Student Handbook, and successful candidates a VTE Certificate. This is a prerequisite for further courses, most notably:

(1) The TTC3 (for students wishing themselves to train teachers)

(2) The BSTTC (Bhakti Shastri Teacher Training Course)

Rasamandala das joined ISKCON in 1973 at Bhaktivedanta Manor. He is now the director of ISKCON Educational Services and is serving the VTE (Vaisnava Training and Education) in the fields of teacher training and curriculum development.
