TIME COMMITMENT for The Basics of TPRS / CI:
How much time do we expect you to invest outside of your classroom application?
7.5 hours per semester contact time on Zoom
About 7.5 hours per semester homework ( completing the worksheets, reading, listening to podcasts / watching videos)
How much time to we expect you to invest IN your classroom?
All of it. You’re already teaching. Between classes you will work on ONE skill. When you master the first one, you’ll move on to the second one. If you master 2 skills or 20 in a year, you’ll still only work on one at a time when you’re already teaching anyway
