Workshop Goal

The workshop goal is to equip you to teach others the CORE COMMUNICATION frameworks,
skills, and processes.

Objectives

By attending this workshop, you will:
• Identify the competencies for successful instruction of the frameworks, skills, and processes.
• Gain experience using teaching/learning materials and tools.
• Practice skill/process coaching methods with real and simulated issues.
• Identify ways to support the transfer and extended use of the skills and processes in daily life.
• Integrate the program with historical and contemporary theories.
• Choose instructional designs for your setting — education, congregation, community, clinic.

Workshop Learning Methods

The instructor workshop incorporates all Core Communication learning modes - presentations, demonstrations, skill practice using skills mats, assessments, and application/transfer exercises. Special attention is focused on how to coach and give feedback effectively. As in the Core Communication course itself, you practice and coach with real issues of your own choosing (appropriate for the setting). In addition, you use simulated issues and situations for certain exercises.

Instructor Workshop Materials

Because the instructor workshop combines instruction for both the Core Communication and the Couple Communication programs, participants use one or the other of these instructor manuals. Participants also use Couple Packet materials and the Core Communication workbook.
