TEACHING STUDENTS TO SAIL


Student Practice


Student practice combines the new content delivered in the chalk talk and the motor skills executed in the land drill with the example provided in the instructor demonstration. This progression of learning prepares the student to practice the new skill on the water.


To maximize student practice time, be prepared. Make sure you have any needed equipment ready to go in your instructor boat or on the water prior to beginning the lesson. The instructor’s role during student practice becomes safety, providing positive encouragement and gently correcting undesirable behavior.


The instructor should observe and record each student successfully practicing each skill as defined for the practice session. Notes regarding growth, encouragement and positive developments will be helpful in the next phase, the debrief.


The instructor has four focus areas during student practice: 1. Safety.


2. To ensure each student practices the skill and recieves positive reinforcement and error correction.


3. To observe and record students achieving the skill. 4. Providing positive reinforcement and error correction.
