Aerial Hoop Intermediate Instructor Course – final assessment
For your assessment you will need to film yourself teaching three individual moves using the IDEAS teaching method to at least one student. You’ll need to film and upload each move as separate videos.
What should be included?
- Teach one move from unit 4 (Intermediate mounts and poses)
- Teach one move from unit 5 (Intermediate progression skills)
- Teach one move from unit 6 (Intermediate dynamic movement)
Teaching assessment notes: Each teaching video should take approximately 3-5 minutes. This should allow you to demonstrate the move, break it down and watch the student try the move 2-3 times. When teaching each move ensure a range of key teaching points and relevant safety points are covered. Aim to cover set up/entry (e.g. hand grips) transitions to get to the pose or through the move and the exit/dismount. Cover contact points with the equipment, which muscle groups are being used to secure a position and any other relevant safety factors such as emergency dismounts.
Instructors should also ensure they have offered suitable follow up teaching, e.g. motivational points, reinforcing points, progressions, regressions or alternatives and correcting technique if appropriate.
Spotting should be provided on the first try of each move regardless of student ability.
