Developing Skill as a Carden® Teacher CARDEN® Courses provide regular opportunities for professional development. Mae Carden stressed to teachers the importance of keeping current. “A teacher is not effective who does not keep abreast of the times. He has to keep informed and should widen his interests. In-service courses are necessary, but the teacher should widen his own scope and cultivate his own taste if he is to whet the appetite of his students.” – Quality Teaching, Successful Learning, Page 76. The Carden Educational Foundation is pleased to offer CARDEN® training courses designed for teachers new to the CARDEN METHOD® as well as those who have taught it for many years. Each winter, the Carden Educational Foundation sponsors demonstration teaching events which permit teachers to observe a master CARDEN® instructor as he or she teaches unrehearsed students in a classroom setting. A regularly updated schedule of Carden Courses and Carden Teaching Demonstrations follows. Don't see a time or location that is convenient? Call us at 843-535-0090.
