Assessment Prep Goal: Clinic designed for Level 1 Candidates to develop teaching understanding and practice the assessment format for the Level 1 Teaching Assessment. Candidates should be prepared to be in front of their peers in a teaching scenario and be able to teach up through the beginner/novice zone.

  • Plan learning outcomes and organize progressive learning experiences relevant to beginner/novice students using student goals and observations about skier performance to create a lesson plan.
  • Deliver a logical progression of experiences that culminate in a memorable lesson.
  • Utilize feedback loops to reflect and review experiences throughout the lesson and acknowledge progress and identify performance change related to lesson outcomes.
  • Practice the exam format in front of a group of peers and an examiner.
  • Describe their teaching performance in reference to an ideal performance.
