Teachalong: Upwind Sailing, Saturday, April 4th at ~1:30 pm, following lessons

[Maureen Johnson Leon]

The next Teachalong will be on Saturday, April 4th at ~1:30 pm, following lessons. It will focus on upwind sailing. A Teachalong is an intensive workshop on teaching for three unique groups: a practice student, a new-to-teaching learning instructor and an experienced teaching instructor. Groups of 3s will learn and explore different ways to teach a particular skill, on land and on water. 

The workshop will begin with a moderated dock talk, followed by about 1.5-2 hours on the water. The goal of the workshop is for learning instructors to gain hands-on experience with teaching a practice student, under the support of a more experienced instructor. 

Fill out this form if you would like to be a learning instructor (https://forms.gle/YSQHvRdBmdL16z6M8). For the purposes of this workshop, a learning instructor is someone who is junior rated or above at CSC, and would like support so that they can teach more regularly. 

If you would like to sign up to be a practice student (unrated or novice), you can sign up for a lottery here (https://cal-sailing.org/dinghy-teach-along).

If you have any questions, please contact one of the pedagogy co-chairs, Emma Chrisman or Mo Johnson León, on Slack.
