Mentors
Ξ October 19th, 2008 | → | ∇ Uncategorized |
A mentor is a cranio sacral therapist who is achieving the sort of results that
you aspire to achieve. Having a mentor is crucial to ensuring
that you get where you want to go in your cranio sacral training.
As well as being a sounding board and support, your mentor may also be the
therapist who assesses you.
Assessment doesn’t mean examination. An assessment isn’t an ‘exam’. It is
based on the knowledge that you want to get it right and become competent.
The role of your assessor is to help you to do that. Assessment should go on
throughout the training. There are two types of practical assessment.
Directional assessment - This is assessment designed to keep you on the
right track. It is intended to help you avoid getting into bad habits by practicing
a technique incorrectly or labouring under an incorrect understanding of a concept.
Competence assessment - This is to assess your competence in a particular technique.
No assistance or helpful tips are given. This is assessment to see if you can do it on your own.
