Today’s massage and bodywork instructors must do more than simply impart knowledge; they also need to motivate and engage learners using effective communication and highly planned instruction, all while continuing to grow as a professional themselves. This third course in Cornerstones: The ABMP Instructor Development Program looks at the competencies required of massage and bodywork educators to help them be most effective in the classroom. The more instructors work on these competencies, the more successful they will be at motivating and connecting with their learners and identifying how best to meet the learner’s needs and goals. Whether you’re a longtime educator who has reached a plateau and wants some new insight, or a new instructor wanting a roadmap for success in the classroom, this prerequisite course to the Cornerstones program offers a big-picture perspective of what is needed to offer the best instruction to adult learners.
