    It cracks me up that you looked on the blog for your own list!! Although, I'm a little concerned as your roommate about the fact that sports bra is not plural.

Learning Styles – Doers, Feelers, Thinkers, Watchers

By
A learning style is the way a person’s sensory, perceptual, memorial, decision-making, and feedback mechanisms operate. Or more simply, the preferred technique to approach learning. Some students have a dominant style and others are comfortable in more than one. PSIA references different theories on learning styles, this is a classic one.

The score cards give you a little checklist to use in your exam prep.  There are four points available in each module.  Currently, you need 10 points out of 16 to pass.  It all seems really fair and straight forward to me.    Creative Teaching Power of Transfer - Teaching Styles and Learning Modes Technical Validity of the Teaching Concept Group Handling Skills (Able to make age specific modifications) Communication Skills - Group Involvement, Personal Attention/Skiing Skills - Demos Movement Assessment Observations and Descriptions Potential Solutions/ Prescriptions Cause & Effect Relationship Effective Feedback Teaching Movement and Skills ATS Understanding Communication Skills/Terminology/Skiing Skills-Demos Use of Teaching Styles and Learning Modes Does the leader and the group see it, do it and understand it?
