Activity Directors Rock!

.. tuesday morn and class begins :O)

www.activitydirector.org offers 2 certification training choices in Texas for Activity Directors. In Texas there are 2 Activiy Director Certifications accepted, one is issued by NCCAP.org (National Certification Council for Activity Professionals) and second is by CTRACTX.org (Consortium for Theraputic Recreation and Activity Certification). Both organizations are recognized by the State of Texas as having a qualified training program for Activity Directors in Texas. (Long Term Care, Assisted Living, Adult Day Care etc.)

First week of class consists of basically online class orientation.
1.-locating a facility and a Certified Supervisor to conduct the "hands-on" fieldwork portion of the course // obtaining the proper paperwork and transmitting to the instructors to verify.
2.-typing and submitting a brief history of the facility to familarize the students with the digital online transfer of assignments, documents, forms etc.
3.-posting to the class forum, a collaborative meeting format that all the students join in and share ideas...
4.-wed. nites is Live Chat night.. instructors and students asking and answering..

for the most part its pretty confusing to most who have no "Online Classroom" experience, but the class is basically just alot of study and research, and 3 basic formats for transferring assignments, notebooks and fieldwork to the instructors...
for the younger AD Professionals who had Online Classes as part of their college experience, the class is walk in the park.. and thru a collaborative effort and alot of hair pulling everyone seems to help one another thru the confusion.... \

of course we're all ADs and we never say never...
