Course Description:
Preparing for your Alpine Level I Assessment? This two-day event is designed to help candidates build confidence and familiarity with the assessment process while developing the knowledge and skills expected of a Level I instructor working in the beginner/novice zone. It is required for candidates who are not currently affiliated with a snowsports school and is also an excellent opportunity to supplement the training and mentoring available through a snowsports school while gaining additional perspective from PSIA-AASI Education Staff.
Participants should arrive prepared to be on snow for two days and able to ski safely on all green and blue terrain.
Learning Experiences:
Specific activities will vary depending on the group’s needs and environmental conditions and typically include:
• Guided exploration of the Learning Connection Model and Level I standards
• Demonstration and practice of the Alpine Fundamentals in beginner and intermediate terrain
• Teaching scenarios focused on beginner/novice students
• Movement analysis and technical discussions using the Observation, Evaluation, Prescription (OEP) process
• Individual and peer teaching activities with guided feedback
• Review of assessment format, scoring process, and candidate expectations
• Individual coaching to identify strengths and priorities for continued preparation
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this event, successful participants will be able to:
• Demonstrate greater confidence performing activities commonly encountered during the Alpine Level I Assessment.
• Understand how the Learning Connection Model supports effective lessons in the beginner/novice zone.
• Apply the Alpine Fundamentals to personal skiing performance and peer movement analysis.
• Understand the format, expectations, and assessment criteria of the Alpine Level I Assessment.
