Then I want you in this group!

Enrollment closes August 28th

What the cohort is...

  • FOUR 1hr live discussions

  • Two ONE-on-ONE sessions scheduled at your convenience

  • SIX assignments with video explanations

  • A group chat thread on Instagram

  • A totally transformative experience for you and your students

Schedule and details

Four LIVE group meetings: a welcome meet, two post-assignment check-ins, and a wrap up.

Each session is 11 am ET; sorry Aussies!

I highly recommend attending the live meetings. Although the recording will be made available, there's nothing like the accountability and cohesion of attending these meetings live!

The two one-on-one sessions are scheduled at your convenience anytime during the six-week session!

Throughout the course, we'll have a group thread for asynchronous chatting and discussions.

FAQs

  • What's the cost?

    Pay-what-you-can centered on $400. Don’t skip out because you can’t afford it, or because you’re interested but not that interested.

  • What if I haven't taken the pre-req class?

    You have to take it before we start! You can sign up before you've finished it though. Since everything is pay-what-you-can, just pay for the class (Unlocking Student Motivation) and then also sign up for this course.

  • I'm already a great teacher/coach that does all these things.

    Then you should be in the room to add your POV to the discussions! The one-on-one meetings are also a great chance to build the language and become familiar with research that supports your practices.

  • I like parts of this offering, but not the whole thing. Can I pick and choose?

    Yep! You can get any of this material self-paced OR book a time with me and I’ll go through the material with you. Every single part of this course is available a la carte, except the discussion and camaraderie. DM me, @proud_coach on insta, with exactly what you want.

  • What if I have to miss one of the live sessions?

    Life happens, but do your best to attend live!

    I'm committed to making this a powerful interactive experience for the folks who can attend each session, and in the past when folks miss live sessions they feel like they've missed out. Better to plan for it in advance!

  • Will everything be available afterwards?

    Yep! All the recordings and materials will be yours to keep.

  • I'm a student, not a teacher...should I try this?

    This course is aimed pretty specifically at teachers. That said, I've had students take it in the past and get a lot out of it!

    If you're really interested, go ahead an jump in...maybe just give yourself a nice discount ($150 or $200) since some of the assignments might not translate.

I think that covers it...

but maybe you have a question?

Best material never taught

Seebie, @glamseebie

Alternative Teaching Methodologies is a MUST SEE set of tried-and-true practices to improve your lesson plans. There isn't a single movement educator or leader who couldn't benefit from incorporating these ideas to expand students' engagement, autonomy, and creativity! I was generating new lesson plan ideas and modifying my old ones with every section, and spent far longer mulling over each suggestion than I expected because they were each rife with opportunity.

Excellent, informative, engaging

Jesse Kitzen-Abelson, @jkitzenabelson

This course is excellent, informative, and engaging. Adam has put together a user friendly course that left me intrigued on the concepts of non-linear pedagogy. I now find myself thinking about linear and non-linear each day that I'm teaching. I believe this is a way to rejuvenate teaching and learning methods for us and our students.

"World class"

Jaine Mirka, @strayful

Adam presents beautiful, thoughtful learning materials that challenge our preconceived ideas around teaching a movement-based practice and empower us to do better. I can't overstate the positive impact this work has on the circus sector as it supports teachers in their work and creates consent-focused, inclusive spaces where more students can engage in a circus practice. We include Adam's modules as a mandatory part of our circus teacher training course as we feel his resources are world-class.

"Relevant and essential"

Dr. Jess Allen, @awyrol

Adam's courses are amazing and eye-opening for any movement teacher who is serious about their practice and about providing a truly inclusive experience for their students.

"Cannot recommend enough"

Ashley, @railroadaerialarts

I took a few of Adam's courses and they were absolutely amazing! I learned so much and it definitely changed how I think about movement, coaching, and lesson planning. I cannot recommend Adam or his courses enough.

"A revelation"

Elisa Format

Adam again makes a course another incredible source of tools for revolutionary teaching. And with revolution, I mean more effective, culture-changing, respectful of bodies and levels, and dynamic. I enjoyed it so much. I think for me it has been a revelation. NLP is a new way of living, not only teaching, I think. The principle of inquiry, be active, start with questioning and exploring. It's a revolutionary approach. as teachers and as learners (we can also be both at the same time). I found it difficult the first part of the course, then with the lesson planning I kind of found a place for all the concepts (it's the proof that NLP work this way! less information first!!)

Thoughtful and challenging

Kel, @melbinmotion

Adam has so much thoughtful and challenging content, delivered with genuine care for all the coaches he's teaching and their communities. All movement coaches should be doing these courses.

Pay what you can

No really. If you don't see the option you want on this list, you can zip me an email and I'll add it for you.
