How does BASI use TIED to develop the teaching skills of instructors?

This lecture will focus on the teaching of snowsport instructors. BASI training courses intend to create ‘good’ snowsport instructors. BASI have been through a process of evolving their teaching assessment and training in order to create good snowsport instructors. At the moment Britain is the second largest exporter of snowsport enthusiasts in the world. Employing a BASI qualified instructor within a ski school encourages British snowsport enthusiasts to visit resorts and to engage in lessons. A good BASI instructor will not only encourage a learners life-long love for snowsports but also a desire to continue engaging in snowschool lessons.

Since first presenting TIED at previous Interski conferences the model has evolved and is being used to develop good snowsport instructors. This lecture will explain how TIED aligns with our learner centred model. TIED can be used in three different ways that deepen the snowsports instructors understanding of teaching and learning: to enhance personal development, to enhance the autonomy of the learner, and to enhance the relationship of learner and instructor.

This lecture will be delivered using a combination of informative powerpoint presentations and interactive participation from the audience.

All the deliverers are members of BASI’s National Education Team. The NET team are BASI trainers who deliver all levels of BASI training courses. They are involved in the development of BASI courses and the education of BASI trainers at the annual trainers conference.
