Take me back to the Positive Reinforcement page.
Life changes and, these days, it changes faster than ever. Many respond to that uncertainty by seeking further control, but that effort almost always leaves us more rigid and less responsive. Build your ambiguity tolerance muscles and replace the impulse to control with a more nimble intention to:
- commit
- contribute
- connect, and
- co-create
Shift how you think about teaching and learning with a simple ‘dolphin training’ exercise to illustrate the central principle of positive reinforcement—reward movement toward the behavior you want and ignore the rest.
Teachers will leave with a keener understanding for the crucial importance of clear instruction, keen attention, and artful feedback. Learners begin to understand the importance of experimentation and engagement. Both groups learn to stay connected with each other.
Teaching with Acoustical Guidance (TAGteach) draws on cutting edge tools to cut teaching time in half and improve learner retention.
Develop practical skills through fun, hands-on training so you can:
- use fewer words for more efficient instruction
- deliver precise, timely feedback to maximize and solidify improvement
- reinforce the skills you intend to develop
- keep your learner focused and thirsty for more
- build loyalty and trust between teacher and learner
