Participants are expected to conduct themselves professionally during all sessions. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Arriving on time for all sessions.
• Attending all live sessions and mentor coaching sessions.
• Have your camera on for virtual live sessions.
• Participating fully in all sessions and mentor coaching sessions. This includes being prepared for the session, involving yourself in discussions and activities, assuming responsibility for your learning, and contributing to the learning of others.
• Engaging in discussions with integrity and honesty.
• Being respectful of your fellow participants and instructors, including silencing your cell phone, not texting, and other disruptive behaviors.
• Embracing diversity and inclusion while respecting the dignity and humanity of others.

The blended learning experiences we use are as follows:

• All classes are conducted virtually using the zoom platform.
• The use of videos to review core competencies and ethical practice is required before receiving course manuals and zoom links for class.
• Manuals for all sections are supplied so students may follow along and know exactly where they are at any given time. Manuals also serve as a review of learning for the students as they move to the final exams.
• Audio-recorded coaching demonstrations are available to students so they can witness a full coaching demonstration using the Methodology.
• YouTube videos on specific topics can be watched whenever the student desires.
• Classes are recorded and sent out to students so they may review the day’s class at their leisure or review specific sections or demonstrations as needed. (Recordings are available for thirty days after the last day of class).
• Class discussions focus on the material covered in that day’s session.
• PowerPoint Slides in pdf are sent out to all participants before class so they may follow along and make notes on their slide printouts in the class.
• Facilitators share experiences and stories of coaching; students are encouraged to share their practice and learned experiences within the class.
• Facilitators do coach demonstrations.
• Breakout rooms are created for participants to practice demonstrated exercises.
• We require that the students participate in triads outside of class with their peers to witness different methods and manners of coaching from their fellow students.
• We discuss the business component explaining best practices, how to engage companies.
• We discuss niche markets, client engagement, and the intention setting of profit centers for business growth and encourage students to coach with their peers to achieve these outcomes.
• Students beginning the program are encouraged to sign up and receive coaching from a student who has entered the mentorship section of their training.
• Students who move into the mentor positions are asked to coach the students in the course’s first section for practice.
• We share articles of interest to students throughout the course and a list of resource materials in the Manuals, which include books, videos, and web links.

Because of this advantage, it is extremely important that your participant records and communications clearly indicate what is required for completion of the full LEVEL 1. Only participants who complete all participant contact hours, participate in all observed coaching sessions and mentoring sessions, and pass the final oral exam process at a ACC credential level are considered graduates of the LEVEL 1.
