• A review of the Level II Certification Standards, Performance Guide, assessment format, and performance expectations, with opportunities for questions and discussion.

• Opportunities to give and receive feedback on teaching decisions, communication, learner engagement, and adaptability.
• Exploration of strategies for recognizing and responding to individual motivations, emotions, performance, and understanding.
