SUMMARY:TEACHER CERTIFICATION #11
DESCRIPTION:Knight-Thompson Speechwork will be offering a three-week Teacher Certification program in the summer of 2025\, July 14th-August 1st\, taught by the KTS Teaching Team\, Co-Directors Phil Thompson & Andrea Caban\, and Certified Teachers Nathan Crocker\, Julie Foh\, and Tyler Seiple. The program will be held in person in San Diego\, CA. Sessions will take place five days a week\, Monday through Friday\, 9:00am to 4:00 or 5:00pm PT. Prior to the start of the program\, there will be two to three required webinars on weekend days between May 15th and July 13th. There will also be assignments due between May 15th and July 13th\, including articulator isolation & gurn videos and drafts of accent breakdowns. Participants will receive feedback on those assignments from the Cert Teaching Team. Additionally\, there will be two to three online Knowledge Celebrations due within the same time period. Participants will be paired with a KTS Certified Teacher as a Mentor during this process who will support them with two private sessions before the three-week certification\, and two private sessions after. A list of required and recommended reading can be found here.\nProgram Goals\nThe purpose of the Certification is to make sure that its participants possess: \n\n\nA thorough understanding of the Knight-Thompson approach to speech training.\nA thorough knowledge of the International Phonetic Alphabet and an ability to use it effectively in teaching.\nA thorough understanding of the Knight-Thompson approach to the methodology of accent training.\nAn ability to productively use research resources for accent acquisition\, as well as efficiently learn and effectively model new accents.\nA demonstrated ability to teach this material effectively and with full understanding.\nA demonstrated ability to use this approach creatively in teaching and coaching.\n\n\nThe emphasis in the Certification program will be on individual development\, and all participants will receive substantial individual attention and mentoring. Participation in the Certification program does not guarantee certification: in some cases we may require additional work to demonstrate understanding and teaching skill. Admission to the Teacher Certification Program is open only to participants who have already taken Experiencing Speech\, Experiencing Accents and a Phonetics Intensive. Prospective participants in the Teacher Certification Program also must have some experience incorporating this approach in their own teaching or coaching before going on to Certification. \nApplication Process\nSubmit your application via this link. Then email an accent breakdown* and a link to an accent modeling sample to knightthompsonspeechwork@gmail.com. \nRequirements for Accent Breakdown: include a section for each of the 4Ps as taught in Experiencing Accents; include cut sound samples and phonetic transcription for the Posture section and each of the token sounds in the Pronunciation section. An expanded version of a breakdown from Experiencing Accents coursework is acceptable. \nRequirements for Accent Modeling Sample: A 2- to 3-minute fully-embodied performance of a memorized text in the accent from your breakdown. \nApplications open September 9\, 2024 and will close on May 3\, 2025. There will be three rounds of application review by the KTS Council. The first review will happen after October 31\, 2024; the second review will happen after January 19\, 2025; and the third will happen at the close of applications on May 3\, 2025. Priority will be given to early applications. Early applicants accepted into the cohort will receive feedback on their application and highly discounted re-taker pre-requisite workshop access. Please note that this program will happen in person only. \n*KTS acknowledges this accent breakdown is your intellectual property and will be used for application review purposes only. \nPlease note that application to the Cert does not guarantee admittance.\nProgram Costs\nUpon acceptance\, the enrollment fee for the Certification is $4\,700 USD. If you are accepted into the program\, payment instructions will be provided. \n  \nPayment Deadlines\nIn order to plan effectively for these workshops\, it’s important to have a clear sense of the commitment of potential participants. For that reason\, we ask for a deposit of $500 to secure your place in the workshop. This is due upon acceptance into the program. The full payment is due May 15th\, 2025. If your plans change\, and you are unable to attend\, we will refund any payment less $100 if you inform us before May 15th\, 2025. After that date\, however\, no refunds are possible. Please plan accordingly.

(Nor is it the only text by which you can acquire this understanding—there are several other books by John McWhorter that may fit the bill. There are precious few by other writers that are as accessible\, though you may wish to browse through the books listed here.) \nThe following books are also recommended. \n\n\nAccents of English\, by J.C.

Active participation in the discussion forum through the year leading up to the program is strongly encouraged (though not required). Prospective participants\, are\, of course\, also encouraged to participate in discussions on the regular KTS Facebook group and on the KTS blog. \n  \nProgram Costs\nThe enrollment fee for the Certification is $3\,000. \nPlease note that registration for the Cert does not guarantee admittance. \nIn order to plan effectively for these workshops\, it’s important to have a clear sense of the commitment of potential participants.
