The TEACHERS resource section of the TKP site is organized as follows:

General Topics for teachers on this site include the following:

  1. what we teach (i.e. which languages, software, IDEs, etc..),
  2. where we teach (i.e. links to events),
  3. who teaches (list of trained TKP teachers by location)
  4. how to teach the using the Intention Method (i.e. list of general teaching tips for all of our courseware)

In addition we are adding teaching resources for each recipe (or lesson unit) to this site.  The teacher training materials for each recipe are linked by recipe name, i.e. SQUARE, HOUSES, etc.. and include the following information

  1. text description of concepts taught by section of recipe (i.e. for recipe, for variation, for recap, for quiz, etc…)
  2. tips to teach each section
  3. short video for teachers on teaching tips for that section
  4. Xtras for that recipe – these can include warm-up (mini) recipes and more

We welcome any and all feedback about the usability and usefullness of our courseware and teacher training materials.
