Becoming an NSP
instructor is a two step process. First you must take the basic Instructor
Development course. This class trains you in the effective use of the "six
pack" lesson plan and introduces you to various techniques used with adult
learners. The second step is to enter the mentoring program in the specific
discipline you wish to teach. These disciplines include Ski & Toboggan,
Outdoor Emergency Care, Avalanche, Mountaineering, Nordic and Instructor
Development. To enter the mentoring program please contact the specific program
supervisor.
The
Instructor Development course is a prerequisite for becoming an instructor. The
Mother Lode Region staff recognizes the importance of this course and is
offering members several opportunities to take the class. See the Calendar for
specific information.
It
is suggested that each Patrol have their own Instructor Development Trainer. If
that is not the case, please contact Tony Atkins.
