The Cuxton ringers are organising an ART M1 course on Saturday 3rd October. This course is suitable for those who already teach bell handling and want to update their skills AND for those who ring but have never taught anyone to handle a bell. Module 1 will provide you with the skills and techniques necessary to take a ringer from their first lesson to having competent bell control.
You will learn through a mixture of practical and classroom sessions:
-how to teach a skill
-how to break down bell handling into easy stages that the new ringer can master
-different learning types and how to adapt your teaching for them
-benefits of intensive teaching
The practical sessions will give you plenty of time to practise your new skills in a safe environment. Working in pairs or groups, you will also have opportunity to hone your observation skills and get feedback on your feedback.
