The InterPlay Teaching Practicum is a core component of the InterPlay Leader Training Program. It is open to those who have enrolled in the Leader Training Program and attended a Secrets of Leading InterPlay event. Previously certified InterPlay leaders may also attend.

The Practicum is a multi-day workshop that includes practice teaching by participants with self-evaluation and feedback from leaders and other participants, information on best practices in designing and leading InterPlay events, and teaching resources such as sample class outlines.

Note: After attending a Secrets of Leading and before attending a Teaching Practicum, participants complete 12 of the Self Study Core Elements and record their completion on the InterPlay website Leaders Circle form. Access to the Leaders Circle is provided after the Secrets of Leading InterPlay.
