RETRAINING Sessions for 2008

We are delighted that you want to renew your certification and continue teaching!  You are important:  to your students, to the Body Recall network of teachers, and to Body Recall, the organization.  Completing the retraining with a certified trainer will renew your certification for three years. 2008 retrainings will take place on the dates and in the locations shown below.  Contact the Berea office if you need more information.   If you plan to attend a regional retraining, please contact the Regional Training Coordinator.  Contact information for Berea office and Regional Coordinators (if known) appear below.As you probably know, we are working on changes to beginning trainings and retrainings.  Lisa Meredith and Julie Ward will develop the curriculum for a 3 ½ -day retraining.  One or two of these will be held in Berea home office after midyear 2008.  Applicants for these short retrainings must first complete one regular retraining.  There is also discussion about professional development trainings for 2008.  We will send you complete information on both as soon as it is available.

Before the expiration of the BODY RECALL LEADERSHIP certificate, teachers must retrain with a certified Trainer.  Each Retraining experience under a qualified Trainer will extend certification for a period of 3 years.  Those who do not apply for renewal will not be granted the privilege of using the title BODY RECALL for classes.  This renewal is also a prerequisite for attendance of other levels of certifications in the Body Recall program.  Refer to Teacher Certification Handbook.

 BODY RECALL LEADERSHIP RETRAINING SESSIONS WILL BE HELD AS FOLLOWS:

Special Populations trainings will be offered immediately following (April 19) each retraining at Body Recall’s home office in Berea, KY.  Smart Moves to Lifetime Fitness trainings will be held on the day before (April12) retraining at the Berea home office.  Smart Moves trainings require a minimum of 5 trainees.

• The training fees for the one-day Special Populations  and  Smart Moves training are $100 each.  These fees don’t include food and lodging.

• When making application, please send a nonrefundable deposit of $100 to Body Recall, Inc.  The balance may be paid in advance or when you arrive.

2)  Regional Retrainings:

• Fees for regional retrainings may vary from the fees charged in Berea because of differences in costs for local arrangements.  The regional coordinators will set fees that are as economical as possible.

• Beginning trainees will be accepted at regional retrainings in 2008, and will pay the beginning training fee rather than the retraining fee.  If there are beginning trainees in the group, the training will end at approximately 5 p.m. Friday rather than at noon.

SCHEDULE and CURRICULUM

Retrainings will begin with Orientation at 7 p.m. on Sunday night and end at noon on Friday.  If the training includes beginning trainees, the training will end at approximately 5 p.m. Friday.  Class work will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 5 p.m.  Some evening study will be necessary. 

Retraining Curriculum   Retrainings are designed to review the basic components of Body Recall philosophy, movement, and teaching methods, and to give each teacher the opportunity to assess her/his skill levels and identify areas for further growth.  The trainer will adapt the retraining to the skill levels and goals of the trainees, and will cover the following basics: 

• Review of Body Recall philosophy, movement and sequences

• Review of choreographed teaching

• Practice teaching

• Study of resource materials and audiovisual aids

• Program planning and implementation

The official text for the training is the Body Recall textbook.  You will be asked to bring a copy of this text and your Teacher’s Guide to the training. 

CPR Certification:  You must have current CPR certification in order to re-certify as a Body Recall teacher.  You may attend the retraining even if you don’t have a current CPR card.  We will formalize your re-certification once we receive documentation of CPR certification.  

Please contact the Body Recall office (contact info below) or your regional retraining coordinator if you have questions or need more information.  We look forward to hearing from you!
