The training is designed to facilitate your continuous, incremental learning. This includes making sure that the intervals between training segments are well utilized. To that end, we encourage you to take ATM classes or workshops offered by your local practitioners during the interim periods. In this way, you can learn about styles of teaching and begin to interact with future colleagues. For the same reasons, we also suggest that you receive at least a few series of FI lessons between segments. 

To deepen your understanding of the method and to strengthen your ability to express that understanding, we will ask you to read specific texts and give you writing tasks between segments. For example, during the second year, we will ask you to write an outline for a talk to the public; these outlines will then be used in small groups for discussion and suggestions.

To support your ongoing learning, we have the intention to record the training program. And make it available through a lending library. To help keep in touch with each other and with the learning process, we will ask you to participate in regular study group meetings with other trainees from the program. We will assign different tasks and exercises for you to do in your study. During the second half of the third year and the first half of the fourth year, you will do an internship or community-based project. You will be asked to apply what you've learned about teaching ATM for the benefit of a specific group in the community with the guidance of a local practitioner.
