Five Steps in Developing Your Congregation - Over five days Kripamoya Dasa shares his extensive experience and identifies the successes and mistakes of more than twenty years of preaching in the UK. His course takes all the existing ISKCON programs of congregational development into account, and some from other organizations, and helps students think about what will be right in their fields of preaching. Topics include:

• contacting your potential new devotees; how not to waste time and energy
• cultivating them once you’ve found them; how to handle 100, 200 or more
• congregating them; groups that work, groups that don’t
• commitment; what to ask for, and when.

• Communications
Two years of research and development by the Vaishnava Training and Education Ministry and the ISKCON Communications Ministry went into this course, which has been taught it in America, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, India, Russia, Brazil, Spain, South Africa, and Argentina. It is a hands-on training program stressing interactive learning, with minimal lecturing.

Anuttama Dasa teaching the course

The course explores case studies of ISKCON’s successes and failures in communications and teaches applications for time, place, and circumstance. Topics include: strategic planning; public speaking; listening skills; devotee relations; internal communications; media relations and training; networking with academics, interfaith people, and government leaders; and more.  Students train for media interviews and experience a video workshop that clarifies what to do and what not to do on camera. By learning to understand and address the needs, concerns, and interests of ISKCON’s key audiences, students learn to increase and strengthen ISKCON’s impact through improved relationships.

• Teacher Training I & II
Learn what constitutes effective teaching by learning:

One of many excersises during Teacher Training Course

- to plan a lesson and write a lesson outline
- about teaching methods: interactive learning and experiential learning
- to select methods that correspond to what students learn 
- the basic skills of delivery, facilitation, and classroom management
- about types of assessment and its purposes, and oral-feedback skills
- basic communication and interpersonal skills
- about the importance of teaching by example
- about the need for systematic training and education.

There are lots of group exercises, class discussions, opportunities for experiential learning, and a few class presentations. The courses are taught with the aid of an overhead projector and flip charts. This first course is suitable for both novice and experienced teachers. It is particularly appropriate for devotees who train other devotees. It is fun, intensive, highly interactive, and transformational. All students will receive a handbook that includes extensive notes and course worksheets. There is little or no homework. No exams. Informal assessment will be made mainly by oral feedback. (Participants from outside the College who attend all sessions of the first course, in the fall, receive a certificate of completion that allows them to take the second Teacher Training Course, in the spring. TTC II is assessed formally, by a sixty-minute presentation.)
