Mayapur Institute Classroom 2

The VTE Teacher Training Course 2 is an intensive 36 hour 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. Those 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 he VTE Teacher Training Course 1 Certificate is a pre-requisite for this course (unless, and at the discretion of the VTE, the candidate has professional experience.)

This is a pre-requisite for further courses, most notably: - TTC3 (for students wishing to themselves train teachers) - Bhakti-sastri Teacher Training Course
