Lesson Planning

Wants + Needs = Goal

WANT

Students in real life will have a WANT, a reason that they have come to the lesson.
When watching on video we can’t speak to that person to ask them what is their WANT.

So in all cases when watching a video, we are going to say that the student “wants to get better.”

GOAL

By taking the ‘wants’ and ‘needs’ and incorporating the common movements for two areas this will enable you to formulate a goal that is tailored to your student.

Lesson Plan

You have to formulate a step-by-step lesson plan – for a 2 hour lesson – that is relevant to analysis of the skier and facilitates the goal.

  • Be specific to a part of the turn or the whole turn.
  • Use the Progression Building Model to develop the movements and explain how you might cater for differing learning styles.
  • Offer exercises/drills to support your progression.

Lets watch and listen again to the example Skier Analysis & Lesson planning.

This time try to identify how the Goal is clearly stated and then, movements are developed, with details of activities. exercises and drills.
