Coursework is accompanied by 2 weekends of structured observations in the ‘Public-Private’ Session format. Individual private sessions conducted by seasoned professionals are observed for the fine-points of effective teaching and client/ instructor relationship. These structured observations round out the program as apprentices both witness and participate in private lessons.
