Do you want more preparation for your upcoming evaluation to become a certified Western Instructor or Competition Coach?  This clinic is a great opportunity for those wishing to become certified and for current Western Instructors and Coaches to train as Mentors. When you have completed the prerequisites for your instructor or coach certification and as a final preparation for your evaluation day, consider attending this clinic.

The clinic will simulate aspects of the evaluation day certification process.  The day starts with an overview of the Western Instructor and Coach Rubrics, with a review of the Emergency Action Plan and the written Lesson Plans.  Candidates will have 20 minutes, as in the evaluation, to teach their lesson topics.  The evaluator will provide feedback and guide discussion.  There will be lunging demonstrations for each coaching context and the day will close out with questions.

Many instructor and coach candidates have reflected that attending this clinic allowed them to test their lesson plans and obtain feedback and either confirm their confidence that they were ready to move forward to the evaluation, or identify areas where they could improve their skills toward a successful evaluation day.
