Hands Off! 70 Active Learning Strategies for Pilates Teacher Training - Paperback

by Virginia S. Cowen (Author)

Pilates teacher training is fun. Especially the hands-on activities. Getting to know the apparatus, self-practice, and learning to cue exercises builds confidence. Critical thinking is important for students to transform into teachers. Hands Off 70 Active Learning Strategies provides instructors in Pilates teacher training programs with cutting edge learning strategies to promote critical thinking. Strategies in this book include peer teaching, games, case-based learning, kinesthetic, observational, collaborative, and project-based activities. Study skill activities are also included to help students prepare for their test out or certification exam. The 70 strategies can be adapted for sessions in the studio, online, and hybrid programs. Activities can be used for informal assessments to help students and instructors recognize progress. This book expands the Pilates Teacher Training toolkit to help make all courses and workshops engaging even when the content is not hands-on.
