Description

For dance teachers that wish to fully immerse themselves into a teaching method that understands Hip Hop & Street Dance Styles, it doesn't just take the gaining of knowledge. It takes the  observation of  the method developer and their seal of approval. That's what the "Master Educator" route is about - Gaining a seal of approval to be fully trusted to not just know the method, but to accurately represent it in their own classroom. 

​​

Only Certified Teachers Are Eligible for This Evaluation.  The  evaluation process is strict, as it is designed to only approve teachers who are able to exemplify mastery over particular aspects of teaching The Comix Method.

Master Educator Policy
The Master Educator title is reserved for certified instructors representing The Comix Method within student learning environments. This distinction recognizes educators who exemplify the method’s principles through their teaching and classroom leadership. 

​

Master Educators are not permitted to teach or sell The Comix Method to other educators for profit unless supervised, directed, or explicitly approved by Certification Director John “Comix” Barrella.

Once approved, Master Educator status does not require re-approval; however, to maintain this title, educators must remain current through one of the following:

​

• Maintaining an Active Comix Method: Resources Membership, or

• Completing required Renewal Modules every three years.

​

These requirements ensure that all Master Educators maintain accurate, up-to-date knowledge of The Comix Method. This title is intended for classroom representation and designation as a Trusted Educator -- part of the official list of approved Comix Method representatives.

Unauthorized use of The Comix Method materials or teachings as a self-developed program for educator training or curriculum sales may result in the forfeiture of certification status.
