May 2011 Dear Friends: Welcome to the 2nd Teacher Training Summit of the PMA. This Summit represents the first attempt within our field to bring Pilates teacher trainers together to explore and share information and ideas about comprehensive teacher training programs. At this event, we will attempt to identify through consensus the essential components of comprehensive education programs. Those of us on the PMA staff have been working for many months with our Certification Commission, Board of Directors, and you, to gather data and analyze the findings of the survey we distributed on March 4, 2011. We look forward to spending time with you at this Summit to present our findings, to examine the relationship between our findings and the PMA’s Role Delineation Study, and to explore what the group thinks the minimum essential components of a comprehensive Pilates teacher training program should be. No doubt, this is the beginning of an ongoing conversation within the Pilates community. We thank you for being a part of this work and for helping to launch this investigation. Sincerely,
Elizabeth Anderson Executive Director

2011 Survey Analysis
* Reveal how comprehensive Pilates teacher training programs
are currently structured across the field.
* Present the data (expressed as statistics), in order to reveal structural similarities and differences among comprehensive Pilates teacher training programs
* Examine how these statistical findings compare to the tasks presented in the PMA’s Role Delineation Study, which outlines the capabilities of a comprehensively trained Pilates teacher
Our Agenda
2
* The outcome we seek is to establish a basic template for the minimum essential components of a comprehensive Pilates teacher training program.
Desired Outcome
* Received 25 responses, of which 20 were usable * 20 schools representing classical, contemporary, and
rehabilitation programs with teaching sites throughout the world * Large international, as well as small, local schools * Program Directors, many with over 20 years experience * Programs varied in length: 400 – 504 hours (11 schools);
572 – 700 hours (5 schools); and 800 – 950 (4 schools).

* I. Initial Development and Validation. The role delineation panel identified the domains, tasks, knowledge, and skills essential to the performance of a PMA Certified Pilates Teacher.
* II. Validation Study. A representative sample of professionals in the field of Pilates teaching (352) reviewed and validated the work of the role delineation panel.
* III. Development of Test Specifications. Based on the ratings gathered from the representative sample of professionals, the test specifications for the certification examination were developed.
Exam Development
* I. Initial Development and Validation. The role delineation panel identified the domains, tasks, knowledge, and skills essential to the performance of a PMA Certified Pilates Teacher
* Tasks in the RD were evaluated according to their importance, frequency, and criticality, and given a numerical weight expressed as a percentage of questions on the exam (which we correlate to a percentage of time spent by the practitioner on that activity)
* Section 2 of your survey asked how much time you allocate in your program teaching the given tasks.
* This is the part that was the hardest for EVERYONE!

Domain I: Assessment & Evaluation Task 1: Obtain information as it pertains to client’s medical health history and current fitness level using questionnaires, interviews, and other records in order to evaluate the client and design a safe Pilates program. Task 2: Identify risk factors and contraindications that might preclude or limit participation in a Pilates program without a medical release. Task 3: Discuss, determine, align, and prioritize goals by evaluating information to facilitate the greatest opportunity for improvement in the client's program. Task 4: Identify needs, imbalances, and asymmetries as they pertain to clients posture, movement, balance, and coordination using observation and movement assessment tools to ascertain appropriate Pilates program. Task 5: Identify information that pertains to the special conditions of a client with a medical release in order to apply appropriate modifications to the program design. Domain II: Teaching Task 1: Develop and design a client's program incorporating Pilates methodologies and information gathered during the assessment to ensure a successful movement experience. Task 2: Apply knowledge in basic movement science (e.g., functional anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology, motor learning) to assessment, design, implementation, progression, and modification of Pilates program to optimize Pilates benefits for clients. Task 3: Use basic teaching skills (e.g., verbal and tactile cueing. Imagery, pacing, multitasking, spotting, demonstration) to educate clients in correct movement technique as it pertains to the Pilates Method. Task 4: Employ comprehensive Pilates syllabus and philosophy in the clients’ program to provide a healthy and safe movement experience in the Pilates environment (i.e., Reformer, Trapeze Table, Chairs, Barrels, Ped-O-Pull, Mat, Magic Circle, Tower, Foot Corrector, Toe Corrector, Finger Corrector, Pin Wheel, Head Harness, Weighted Shoe, Bean Bag). Task 5: Identify information that pertains to the special conditions of a client with a medical release in order to apply appropriate modifications to the program design.
20
Domain III: Reassessment Task 1: Monitor and record client’s progress using subjective and objective measures (e.g., chart, notes) to maintain awareness and documentation of client's current status and to assure program matches client's challenge point. Task 2: Gather subjective and objective information as it pertains to client's current status (e.g., mobility, posture, menstruation, faint cold sweats, chest pain, change of activity, sleep deprivation) and modify workout to accommodate any special circumstances to ensure a safe and effective movement experience or refer client to their physician or emergency services if situation warrants intervention beyond the teacher's scope of practice. Task 3: Re-assess and re-align short and long-term Pilates program goal and content, using observation and discussion to match program with client's challenge point. Task 4: Identify habits or movement patterns that negatively impact function using observation and communication in order to redirect Pilates program with the goal of increasing awareness of healthy movement patterns. Task 5: Evaluate and adjust clients workout environment (e.g., light source, noise level, private vs. class format, home programs) for client’s optimal learning experience. Task 6: Re-assess client's status following a hiatus from program (e.g., illness, accident, trauma and general de-conditioning), using measurement tools for both subjective and objective measures, and conduct new intake, medical release, history, and evaluation as appropriate to re-establish goals and to design Pilates program for a safe and effective movement experience. Task 7: Re-assess client's status and progress using subjective and objective measures to redirect client toward a different learning style (e.g., group classes, private instruction, home programs) in order to foster client responsibility for personal progress and to improve the learning experience.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS * Over the years our entrance and prerequisite requirements have changed. Previously, successful completion of written and practical examinations (accompanied by documented hours in sessions) was required for acceptance into the program. However, we found this eliminated a large group of potentially talented, promising and determined individuals. Inevitably, these requirements sent these applicants to lesser programs offered at local gyms and such. Currently, the requirements are varied and based on individual interviews. * Pilates experience and Exercise Science * Submit an application be medically cleared to engage in a vigorous exercise training program * I have my students send a curriculum vitae to see if they have previous experience in a movement related field (dance, fitness, physical therapy, etc). If they do not, I will speak with them personally about their desire to become a Pilates teacher and I decide on an individual basis if they should be admitted to the program. * Some Pilates or other fitness background. A strong desire to learn classic Pilates and be able to teach and implement the program to others of all abilities. Interview process with potential student is always the first step. A background in Pilates, yoga, or fitness related programs, we also speak about intentions and goals. * Must be at an intermediate level on mat and reformer, able to move with tempo and integrity, using transitions. Trainee applicant must take a lesson with a certified teacher to be approved for program. * Performance on Reformer at an intermediate level. Students must know the order, springs, reps, breath, and equipment. Students must be able to self-correct. * Able to perform level III/IV Reformer showing knowledge in equipment use, safety, order of exercises, ability to take corrections. Some knowledge of Mat, Cadillac, Chair and small apparatus * Applicants must complete the entrance application, complete the prerequisite hours and complete an evaluation. * CPR or First aid, a recognized qualification in anatomy either thorough a fitness certification or another course, a minimum 20 hours Pilates Apparatus and Mat training. Completed registration application with XYZ school approval. * 3 years minimum of regular Pilates Practice and an Intermediate/Advanced level of practice. During and audition in, a background in Dance, Movement or Martial Arts can allow for less time practicing Pilates before starting the program. Must be healthy with no injuries that could interfere with learning. * Licensed or certified health care professionals (e.g. PT, MD, DO, DC, ATC) Participation in 25 hours of group or private Pilates classes prior to start of course or Certified fitness instructor or instructor of movement arts (e.g. yoga, Tai Chi, practitioners of somatic movement) One semester of basic anatomy/physiology or equivalent Participation in 25 hours of group or private Pilates classes prior to start of course 1. 18 years of age or older with high school diploma or equivalent. 2. Completed application including references and application fee. 3. Submitted documentation of completed prerequisite hours. 4. Participation in an entrance evaluation and interview. 5. Complete the enrollment and registration process.
34
PREREQUISITES * Education - university - sports activities – Employment * Knowledge of intermediate level on Reformer and Mat. * Experience: take Pilates as a student or fitness professional. We encourage others to begin by becoming a student for a minimum of 6 months. * Our prerequisites consist of 35 private one on one sessions and then at least 40 more when in the program. * A minimum of 2 years studying the method. Most of our students come from other Pilates schools or from our Client base. * 25 or more private Pilates lessons. Basic anatomy course. * Memorize the beginning Mat/Reformer order. Read ‘Return to Life’, required reading assignments in the book Anatomy of Movement. Required reading assignments in the XYZ School training manual. * 3 years minimum of regular Pilates Practice and an Intermediate/Advanced level of practice. During and audition in, a background in Dance, Movement or Martial Arts can allow for less time practicing Pilates before starting the program. Students are also required to read "Return to Life" and "Anatomy of Movement". * We require that students have a background in Anatomy and Exercise Science before being accepted onto our courses. However, we do a review and an assignment, which needs to be handed in which takes about 3 hours in total. * A minimum of 30 private sessions with a XYZ Teacher (preferably a XYZ Facilitator or Faculty) and a minimum of 30 group classes with a Qualified XYZ Teacher * Prior experience in Pilates that allows to pass the entrance performance. If none, then need to complete a Preparatory Program which is custom designed and can be 3 to 6 months long depending on the candidate's fitness level and ability to understand in their body the Pilates Principles and Fundamentals
35
WHO SUPERVISES, MONITORS, OR ASSESSES SELF-PRACTICE? * Practice hours are monitored by our teacher trainers, studio or facility owners and self reported. * Students are required to complete a minimum of 200 hours of self- practice. These hours are completed in a XYZ host or affiliate location and signed off by a XYZ instructor in the studio. * Honor system for themselves * Myself and the training assistants. Before each training session/day the previous material learnt is observed and examined before new material s given. * Myself. * Program Faculty supervise and assess student self practice, some self-practice can be supervised and monitored by Qualified XYZ Facilitators or Teachers. * Our appointed teacher trainers who have all been teaching Pilates for 5 or more years and went through a training program to prepare them for this role. * Applicants are expected to have at least 6 months Pilates experience. * Program Director and the most senior teacher * Students self practice is always supervised by a certified Pilates instructor who has completed our training and teaches in our method of Pilates teaching. Their self-practice is monitored by instructors, supervising instructors as well as teacher trainers. Their self-practice is assessed by the supervising instructors as well as teacher trainers. * Program director * Self-practice is unsupervised but is assessed during group classes, privates and required observed teaching privates. * I have a mentoring system in place, as well as teacher assistants who work directly with me during the training sessions. * Advisors, Examiners, Director of Education, and XYZ Staff. * Self-practice is unsupervised but is assessed during group classes, privates and required observed teaching privates. * XYZ Educators, XYZ Mentors, Pilates Instructors, other students, student. * Myself and other master trainers. * We have advisors for each trainee with required meetings to ask questions and make sure the trainee is correctly doing their self-practice.
36
COMMENTS * Thank you for the opportunity of completing this survey. It provided the occasion to reassess our program's structure from a fresh and unique perspective. Part 2 was particularly challenging as the questions were rather verbose and therefore made it difficult to determine the exact reference desired. * XYZ specifically dedicates several modules (each module includes six hours of instruction, demonstration and practice with a qualified XYZ faculty member) on the subject of "specific populations". In addition, to lecture and discussion contained on these particular days, we include topics that overlap during a number of other modules. * I found the second part of the survey difficult. I could break down hours in the first part of the survey. I understand why you want this info and can tell you that after the lessons of anatomy, kinesiology, safety, scope, history and practical exercises are taught -we strive to create "thinking teachers" who can put this knowledge into practice on a meaningful level and Design, Assess and Re-assess - to assign an hourly range was difficult for me. We consider our x hour program foundational only and stress furthering one's knowledge -a must. * A major requirement in our program is 100 hours case study clients/with data collection and a short thesis. * The missing hours/percentage are made up by guest speakers on pelvic floor function, and spinal conditions and pathologies. I found that most of the Domain 3 hours were accomplished during the case studies that students complete. Most of Domain 2 was completed during the actual lectures and tutorials. Most of Domain 1 was accomplished during lectures and then subsequent hours of observation/participation/practice. * In my experience it is very individual. Some with little experience can have what it takes to grasp and embody the work, others with years of training and even certification are unable and unsuitable to take on the 'fullness' required by the method. * Our program does not separate the above into different learning modules but incorporates all the above whilst learning the work. There are set 'rehab' modules and 'anatomy' times set aside to look at functional movement, mechanics, moving potential etc * The sixteen additional hours of our program involve business skills and vocal training that do not fall under the teaching domains listed above. * For my school it is important that the student has the basics of anatomy and biomechanics * We found it very challenging to fill in the above section as many of the tasks had apparent overlap. It also was not made clear as to whether it was expected that the role delineation percentages were to actually add up to 100. If yes - then we filled out the form to the best of our ability - if no then we would need to modify and adjust. To my understanding the role delineation document outlined the tasks, knowledge and skill sets necessary that a Pilates teacher needs to perform their job. The information covered in teacher training actually covers other material and included hours that actually cross over through the domains. Further, assessment and re-assessment are very similar - this was always a discussion point from the very beginning. * These hours are an estimation as many components listed are incorporated throughout the 112 hours of lecture and also in the required group classes and privates. We also require 350 hours of Practice Teaching before a teacher can test out. * It was difficult to set hours to the above domains because I found that often they over-lap during the training program.
37
* These hours are an estimation as many components listed are incorporated throughout the x hours of lecture and also in the required group classes and privates. We also require x hours of Practice Teaching before a teacher can test out. * Anatomy is a prerequisite. No space for Ladder Barrel or Spine Corrector, which are in our courses. * Dom 1 - Task 5: This information is taught in the XYZ Advanced Assessment Course, as is much of the reassessment information. 1. Small Props hours include Spine Corrector work, High Barrel, Magic Circle, Foot Corrector, and Bean bag. (other proprietary items removed by PMA for anonymity) 2. Exercise Analysis, modifications, safety guidelines and safety protocols are also addressed in the teaching of the individual pieces of equipment and movements. 3. 25 hours of individual mentoring are not included in the hours listed above as they could cover any number of the topics listed. 4. Special Populations are addresses generally but are considered to be continuing education. * The above tasks are integrated into the trainees apprenticeship program where they are practice teaching for 250 hours of the 720 total hours. They are using the above listed tasks continuously during those teaching hours so I am making an estimation above based on that. * I have tried to be as clear as possible. I'm not sure that this is the most accurate description of the XYZ. I hope I have understood/ interpreted the questions accurately. There are parts of this survey that I think that could be worded differently.
