The Instructor course familiarises candidates with a teaching method specifically designed for teaching single- handed when the Instructor may be on their own, with up to six students and dinghies.
Sessions should be short and the Instructor must always watch for signs of fatigue. Capsizes are more likely in a single hander than in the instructed larger dinghy, so suitable preparation must be made.
For sessions to be most effective, Instructors should: 为使练习效率最⼤化,教练应注意:
• Keep them short • 练习时间切勿过⻓,提倡短练习
• Provide short clear briefings (essential) containing enough information to complete the task, and no more
• 练习简述(必不可少)清晰简短,包含⾜够的信息供学员完成任务,不多不少 • The aim of the session should ‘just’ challenge the students • 练习⽬标应给学员们“适当”的挑战 • Regularly check the understanding of the students • 定期检查学员的理解程度 • Debrief each session with effective feedback to the individual students • 总结每⼀次练习,有效反馈每个学员 • Lay marks prior to each session so students can see the course before setting off
