Unit 120 hosted a
Teacher Accreditation Program (TAP) in Wilkes-Barre on June
11 - 12, 2005.
Nineteen students attended, including 16 from Unit 120, 2 from
Naples, FL and Craig Robinson, the District 4 representative
from Lansdale, PA. The instructor was Donna Compton from Dallas
(Texas that is).
TAP is
one of the ACBL’s most successful programs. Established in 1986
by Audrey Grant, it demonstrates successful methods of teaching
the game of bridge and uses the ACBL’s popular Bridge Series
texts and teacher manuals. These teaching methods can be used
with any teaching materials. Anyone successfully completing
this course is listed on the ACBL’s teacher web site. The
cost of the program was partially
underwritten by the Unit 120 and the event coordinator was Beth
Rosenthal. The purpose of offering this special program is to
create a cadre of certified teachers in our area to teach in
schools and encourage interscholastic competition. |
