Teacher Training: The "Preferred Format"

Abstract

Introduction:  The notion of a "preferred format" for training is most fruitfully discussed within a context of what needs to be covered in order to begin to do Philosophy for Children in a responsible fashion.  Attached is a form of "Training Manual" (TM) that is at the heart of the training that I do in Hawaii.  This manual provides a framework that forms the basis of what I think teachers ultimately need to have an in-depth appreciation for, regardless of specific program, in order to faithfully carry out the program.
