Course Description:
This two-day event is PSIA-AASI's entry-level assessment for instructors who specialize in working with children. The CS1 assessment includes an online e-learning portion ($20 fee), an optional study guide, on snow teaching scenarios, video Movement Analysis, and technical discussions regarding how children and young students learn and progress from the Beginner/Novice into the Intermediate Zone.
Assessment of those taking the CS1 reflects the participants' knowledge of teaching to the development stages of children. Successful completion of the assessment grants professional recognition to an instructor for their education, experience, and expertise in teaching snowsports to children. This is a multi-discipline event with the likelihood of mixed groups (alpine, snowboard and telemark participants). Participants whose performance demonstrates knowledge and appropriate application at or above the National Standard will receive a Children's Specialist 1 certificate to recognize their expertise.
