Instructor Voices Part 4: "What Makes a Good IBL Instructor?" (Video)

Here's the fourth episode in the Instructor Voices series on the AIBL channel.   This time just a quick take on what a handful of IBL instructors think about important attributes or skills of an effective teacher.

I'll add on to their good comments by saying that these aren't a complete list.  What goes into becoming a solid IBL teacher isn't the size of a sound bite.  If you're interested in taking the next steps, please consider attending the IBL Workshop in July 2015. Registration opens in January.

Careful listening, providing appropriate structure for exchanging ideas, restraint, patience, understanding the learning process, and compassionate joy.
