Learning to teach the “Ready Position”
After an exceptional Kidpower instructor training program in January, we are currently accepting applications for our Teenpower/Fullpower Core Program Training.
This six-day training program is part of our instructor training process to certify candidates to teach teens and adults under our auspices. The training includes how to adapt teaching for elderly people and individuals with special needs.
Here’s a recent testimonial from a new instructor:
I found the training program to be inspiring and positive. The part that really struck me was how much being part of this organization feels like coming home, with such a supportive and caring learning and teaching environment. Of course, it is the people who make it so. The fact that Kidpower can attract and keep such amazing people speaks volumes. Thank you thank you thank you!
