This is usually the first time teaching for most people in our program.

Every group has a Head Teacher who is a volunteer peer supervisor. They have many responsibilities, but essentially they act as the leader of the group and are often the middleman between the volunteers, the Local Coordinator/school, and the ILP office in Utah to ensure that things are running smoothly and needs are met. Head Teachers either have previous experience teaching the ILP method when they were a volunteer themselves, or they have completed additional training prior to the start of the semester. Either way, they are there to give you support and guidance and answer questions so that ILP classes are effective for the students. You may also have alumni in your group who are returning to teach for the second or third time.
