DETERMINE GOALS AND PLAN EXPERIENCES


Te instructor: ■ Selects appropriate goals based on assessment and identification of individual and group needs.


■ Plans learning objectives and uses relevant experience to meet goals and expectations.


■ Chooses appropriate terrain, features, and snow conditions. ■ States general goals and objectives for the group, and specific goals for individuals. ■ Partners with students to design a motor learning plan or cycle.


Goal Setting


To deliver an outstanding lesson, seek to provide safety, fun, and learning as part of a greater experience. Te whole enchilada involves showing students how to carry the board in a cool way, how to avoid gaper-gap (that is, a gap between the top of the rider’s goggles and helmet, which can be considered a trait of an inexperienced snowboarder), where to find the best burritos for lunch and, perhaps most importantly, leading the guests to a desired and expected result. It’s difficult to get to the desti- nation if you have no map, so helping guests set goals at the beginning of a lesson is critical to providing this great experience. Remember, we are at our best and most reassured by a sense of purpose when working toward an outcome. In helping set goals, the instructor plays a bigger part for beginners than for more advanced riders. As a guide, consider developing specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART) goals: specific enough to offer a clear outcome; measurable enough to demonstrate improvement; achievable, given the current skill, terrain/feature, and willingness; realistic enough to be within the realm of the accomplishable; and time-bound, referring to the balance between the time available for learning and the goal.
