Course Description:
The Level I Certification Assessment affirms that an instructor is qualified to teach beginner/noviceskiers in both classic and skate technique on terrain appropriate for early skill development (typically “green” terrain). This assessment evaluates candidates across all three domains of the Learning Connection Model–people skills, teaching skills, and technical skills–as well as professionalism and self-management. Successful participants demonstrate the ability to create safe, fun, and engaging learning environments for novice students while applying the Cross Country Skiing Fundamentals and the PSIA Cross Country Technical Model.
Candidates should expect a formal assessment environment and need to have completed their Cross Country Level I E-Learning Course prior to registering.
Learning Experiences:
Specific activities will vary depending on the group and environmental conditions, and they will typically include:
• Refer to the appropriate Assessment Guide for more information about the assessment format.

• Conduct themselves professionally, demonstrating self-awareness and self-management.
• Use clear and respectful verbal and non-verbal communication to build trust and rapport with students.
• Plan, implement, and reflect upon effective progressions for beginner/novice students.
