Teaching

There's a reason why you can get CEU's (Continuing Education Units) from RID for teaching a class. It's because in teaching you yourself learn. It channels your thinking when you try to express ideas you believe you already have clear in your head. The questions that your students will ask will also make you think about matters that have lain dormant or undeveloped in your mind. Below are some workshops that I have taught in the past (and am available to teach in the future, wink, wink). You are welcome to use them to teach your own workshops as long as you leave my name on the materials. It goes without saying, developing your own will also be beneficial for you.
