Instructor Development
Course Description
Unlike other USPS courses, the Instructor
Development course is not designed to enhance boating skills. Rather, its
emphasis is on enhancing instructor skills. The course has been designed
to demonstrate interactive teaching methods focused on adult learning. Students
are required to prepare lesson plans and give four presentations to their peers
utilizing a variety of teaching aids and presentation skills. Each presentation
is to be given on a topic from one of the public boating classes with the intent
that upon completion of the course every student will be qualified to teach or
proctor at a squadron boating class.
Fully developed suggested lesson plans
for each chapter are contained in the instructor manual and PowerPoint presentations
are available, as well as overhead transparency masters.
