The ART Training Scheme offers training, support and motivation to ringing teachers:
- New teachers quickly learn a range of techniques and skills that give you the confidence to teach and be successful.
- Experienced teachers refresh and build on your existing skills.
- Everyone benefits from the resources and ideas which meet people’s expectations of a hobby in this day and age.
The scheme is based on best practice from the worlds of ringing, other hobbies and education; supplemented with university research findings into how best to coach practical skills.
The approach focuses on breaking down the process of bell ringing into its component parts, giving techniques and background for how to teach each part before adding the sections together to create the whole.
Most concepts are not revolutionary and experienced teachers are likely to have seen some of these learning techniques before. However when applied together with an understanding of skills development and coaching they provide a clear and structured process that all teachers can follow at their local practices.
