Lessons:
Each class meeting has a lesson to be completed in advance of the meeting. There is a chart with lesson dates at the bottom of this syllabus. In addition to these group sessions, each participant in this course will meet with the instructor on 3 separate occasions for one-on-one feedback on your coaching. These sessions will be scheduled on a mutually agreed-upon schedule. Generally speaking, these meetings will be scheduled for one meeting per month in May, June, and July. Students must submit a recording of a coaching session in advance of this meeting.
Lessons may include:
- Handouts

- Recordings of each session are posted in the follow-up for each lesson.
