This course examines the theory and practice of teaching and learning, and how they interact with anxiety. All of the skills covered come under the umbrella of what can be considered ‘Effective Coaching’. The C word has become more and more prevalent in climbing, and next year the MLT is planning on launching a new Coaching Climbing Award.
Similarly the MLTA have put a system in place for compulsory CPD (Continuing Professional Develop), this course will help you fulfill that requirement. The main themes of the day are:
- Psychology of Learning
- Effects of Anxiety on Learning
- Learning Pathways
- Stages of Learning
- Effective Practice
- Observation and Analysis
- Feedback
- Reflective Practice
This course will be of interest to CWA, SPA and MIA award holders and trainees, as well as parent or in-house trained staff who want to understand more about how to teach and coach.
