learning process. As the student progresses, good teachers can enhance knowledge and skill acquisition with the right feedback at just the right time. It sounds easy enough, but it takes serious knowledge about the subject matter on the part of the teacher, as well as the ability to understand key sensations, i.e., what good execution of a skill feels like and looks like.” Jo Garuccio, Alpine Level III, Children’s Specialist 2; Snowbird, UT
“Good teaching equals good learning. You need to respect, honor, and appreciate your student and his/her needs and desires. Allow experimentation, exploring, testing the limits with guidance and the use of the environment to accomplish the student’s goals.” Richard Wallach, Alpine Level III, Children’s Specialist 2
“Great teaching is being fl uid and dynamic to each student and situation. Setting specifi c goals and making a plan to get there. Creating an environment where failure is totally accepted and the team is supported.” Amber Hanley, Alpine Level II, Children’s Specialist 2, Freestyle Specialist 1; Copper Mountain, CO
“With all skier levels, work on ‘sensations’ that create results students can feel and identify. Talk less on the snow and teach on the lifts. While riding the lift identify skiers that are doing what you are teaching, and those that are not. Ski alongside and behind the student. You will see the changes and the student will feel the sensations you are trying to get across. Smiles everywhere.” “Megeve” Mike Beaudet, Alpine Level III

“T e essence of great teaching is empathy (remember, at one time you were at the same level as your student), and letting the students feel they are part of something much more fun than anything they have ever done before. Great teaching is the ability to get a student to practice what you have taught them! And you giving them the time to practice.” Loren Livermore, Alpine Level III, Children’s Specialist 2; Tamarack Resort, Idaho

“Gaining a person’s trust so they allow you to coach them is important, but just as important is having the technical knowledge to back up what and how you coach.” Sherman White, Alpine Level III; Smuggler’s Notch, VT
