Karen Pryor, a leading behavioral scientist, author, and pioneer in the field of positive reinforcement learning, announced today that she has joined with the founders of the TAGteach™ method to develop and promote the company’s revolutionary teaching system. TAGteach International will offer training seminars in the Boston area in July and October.
Waltham, MA(PRWEB) May 23 2004--Karen Pryor, a leading behavioral scientist,
author, and pioneer in the field of positive reinforcement learning, announced
today that she has joined with the founders of the TAGteach™ method to develop
and promote the company’s revolutionary teaching system. The TAG (Teaching with
Acoustical Guidance) system amplifies, through acoustical signals, the critical
information students and athletes need to learn and acquire new skills. The TAG,
a key communication tool used in the system, refers to the distinctive sound
made to mark or “TAG” a moment in time. This sound becomes an acoustical binary
message that is quickly processed by the brain and speeds muscle learning. A TAG
means “yes.” Absence of a TAG means “try again.”
TAGteaching has been
used successfully to teach competitive gymnasts, competitive dancers, and
Special Olympians. New TAGteachers are applying the TAG protocols every day in
areas ranging from physical rehabilitation to team sports.
“TAGteach is
not just an accelerated way to teach and learn,” said Pryor. “It also has a huge
positive impact on the lives of both the teacher/coach and the student/athlete.
“Imagine a gym without the sound of the coach yelling. Imagine making more
progress overcoming physical disabilities in three months than in the previous
three years. Imagine taking five strokes off your golf game after just one or
two TAG sessions. That’s the level of performance increase we are talking
about.”
“We are thrilled to all be part of one company,” said Theresa
Mckeon, one of the co-founders of the TAGteach method and coach of competition
level athletes. “We are building on what Karen started and her support of our
work all along has meant so much. TAGteach is already having a big impact in the
gyms I work with.”
“TAGteach delivers what teachers and coaches dream
about,” added Joan Orr, a co-founder of TAGteach, coach, and research scientist.
“A protocol for accelerated learning without correction; a method for generating
sustained enthusiasm and avoiding burnout; a principled approach applicable to
students/athletes at every skill and educational level.”
The company is
launching its first educational seminars in the Boston area in the summer and
fall of 2004.
The TAGteach: Coaches and Educators Level 1 Seminar, Oct
9-10, 2004 will introduce educators and coaches to TAGteach and focus on the
application of the TAGteach methodology in individual and team sports, as well
as special education, general education, and physical education. Educators will
be able to begin applying TAGteach in their classrooms and with their teams at
the end of the weekend.
The TAGteachDance Level 1 Seminar, July 16-18,
2004 will introduce dance and movement teachers to TAGteach and focus on the
application of TAGteach to dance and movement teaching.
The TAGteach
system of fast-track learning has been developed with behavioral experts,
coaches, and teachers. With TAGteach, the brain does not have to process
corrections, emotions, or explanations while the body is trying to perform
complicated or precise movements. Regardless of age or application, the
TAG-taught student learns to react accurately with lightning speed while
building muscle memory and confidence.
