The Langer Protocol is an educational environment protocol that is appropriate to any enterprise. Key points of the Langer protocol for the EASI Academy are as follows:
- The protocol explicitly excludes any from rote repetition and micro management style correction as is common in conventional training programs
- There is no from of conventional template based training.
- All drills maximize the student's opportunity to experiment, explore and use their individual initiative to discover efficient skills with which to execute strokes and make decisions.
- Hence, experimentation and exploration are key factors in the Langer Protocol.
- All drills are designed around conceptually clear purposes and results rather than activities.
- In place of rote repetition each drill is tantamount to a series of experiments for which there is no wrong or right result. Each experiment simply provides the student with data to be processed by the brain during gestation time or sleep.
- All learning using the Langer Protocol proceeds implicitly with minimal elaboration or direction from the instructor.
- The instructor never micro-manages the student.
- The student is allowed to experiment and discover efficient technique and to adapt their ideas to new situations without restricting their creativity or decision making skills.
- The Langer Protocol assures that when the student implements the knowledge gained from their training in match play, they will have the ability to continually adapt their knowledge effectively to changing circumstances, on their own initiative, without depending on the direction of others in order to make effective choices.
