Welcome to this first collaboration between Rosemary Morrow, Alfred Decker and their fantastic teaching team, and the Permaculture Association of Britain – and come join us an accessible and inspiring online teacher training!
The Permaculture Teacher Training (PTT) is an international training offered in English and designed by the internationally-renowned teacher Rosemary Morrow, in which the content and teaching of permaculture coincide harmoniously with the ethics. PTTs are organised by Rosemary’s Permaculture Teacher Training Collective, of which the lead trainer for this online course, Alfred Decker, is a collective member. The course is available to PDC holders from any country.
Schedule: Participants should set aside 10 hours a week for the program, which will be a varied blend of online meetings, group work, presentations and self study. More details coming soon!
This intensive training will provide you with an invaluable toolkit to use in the classroom, as well as life in general. The PTT draws on Rosemary’s four decades of permaculture teaching experience. Whether you are already a teacher, or thinking of becoming one, the PTT makes teaching a transformative and fun exchange. Classrooms (indoor and outdoor) will never be the same again!
The PTT is designed for those who want to teach based on Rosemary’s participatory learning methods. The course will help participants to:
– Change the way they think about education
– Move towards a permaculture teaching career
– Empower others with life-changing skills
– Learn to pass on knowledge of permaculture theory and practice in ways that creates real change in their students and activates entire communities
– Make connections with an international community of permaculture teachers
– Understand other critical aspects of permaculture courses such as budgeting, certificates, promotion and marketing, working with host organisations, and more
As a student, you’ll get a few great benefits from being here:
Access exclusive content. We’ve designed the PTT to inspire, instruct, and engage.
Meet new people. Your fellow students are as motivated as you are to master what we’re exploring here in the PTT
Get results. As you dive into the course content and meet the community here in the PTT, you’re on a path of mastery. While it’s not necessarily easy, the transformation made by the students is what counts!
