Teaching Fundamentals

Teaching is the heart of what we do as instructors! Attending in-house clinics will hone your teaching skills. 

With trust established using people skills, teaching skills strengthen the connection between the instructor and student. Teaching skills create an engaging environment in which to foster student learning. To maximize learning, instructors plan, implement, and adapt the learning experience, and give students an opportunity to reflect on their experiences.
