How to use an acoustic marker to get more success with less frustration
Are you ready to unleash your teacher super powers?!
TAGteach gives you the tools to simplify your instructions, use fewer words, give immediate feedback and get fast results. You'll be able to communicate effectively with your students and see success at each step.
Using a click sound to tell the visually impaired learner exactly when they have done a correct action is a huge benefit to guide dog handler training. The learner can focus on the sound and exactly what they were doing when they hear it. They don't have to use any brain power to try to interpret the nuances of language. If they don't hear the sound (tag) they know to try again and the instructor does not need to give a verbal correction.
Not sure if this can work for you? Check out these videos from students, teachers and coaches on how TAGteach changed their experience for the better.

"Makes success quick and more enjoyable for both learner and teacher."
"In guide dog training, the visually impaired handler must learn to provide effective verbal and body cues to their guide dog. As an example: Teaching the specific timing and placement of the handler’s body facing, footwork, hand gesture, and verbal cue for Right and Left Turns requires many sessions and repetitions using the traditional method of teaching all the steps as one skill. The same skill taught via TAGteach is not only learned faster, but each segment of the skill has as stronger foundation that results is consistent application by the blind handler. Breaking the skill down into smaller components and using less “lecture style teaching” makes success quick and more enjoyable for both learner and teacher."

"TAGteach has transformed my classroom."
I have used it to teach writing, reading and math skills. I've used it to improve cognition and to teach the mandated skills for earthquake preparedness drills. It's great to be able to have a way for all the kids to work together and help each other. It has challenged me as a teacher to find ways to break my lessons down to ensure success and to find creative ways to keep the kids motivated.

What are teachers of the visually impaired saying about TAGteach?
"I was blown away."
I have a new semester of students including two with significant visual impairment. Without the advantage of vision, the one student offered to talk the other students through an exercise, because within minutes, she was able to repeat the WOOF statements and do the exercise hands-on herself and felt confident enough to lead the class. I was blown away.

"I cannot say enough wonderful things"
I just attended the TAGteach workshop last weekend. I cannot say enough wonderful things. I tried out TAGteach with both my group and private dog training clients. It has made an enormous difference! Every single client gave me positive feedback without me asking them. Every single one. I am floored.

"I highly recommend this workshop"
We are a multi-specialty medical practice that has been in business for forty years in southwestern New Mexico. We chose this seminar because we have been trying improve multiple lines of services for some time, with inadequate success. I highly recommend this workshop to any business seeking to improve their operations or customer service. Specifically those in the medical field, including the entire breadth of staff, particularly physicians. What we all gained was a new insight into the responsibilities of leaders and new tools to enable us to become more effective leaders and teachers. It was a true paradigm shift.
