In our line of work, learning is just as important as the act of snowboarding. We offer a lot of great information about how to structure a general learning environment. Concepts such as the principles of learning and learning styles are good examples of materials we offer to help instructors successfully interact with their students.
All the background info we offer can become irrelevant if our students are not open to learning in the first place. Learning types differ from learning styles and can be tricky to identify at times, but with a little observation we can distinguish whether a student is ready to learn or not.

While we’re full on summer mode, we can still think about or practice in our daily activities some teaching skills that will be useful in our next snowboarding lessons. Here’s a great Teaching Tip from CASI National Technical Team Member Dom Oshanek, about how to use plain language when teaching. There might be some time before you teach your next snowboarding lesson - or maybe not if you are currently teaching somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere - but these teaching skills can use some mileage outside of snowboarding.
The National Technical Team encourages you to give this tip some thinking and try putting it in practice while speaking or explaining something to the people around you.
Have fun with it !
