At the end of instructor training programs new instructors will have a good grasp of what to teach and how to teach but may lack the necessary experience required to teach effectively. Everything takes practice, right? Paddler Co-op offers you the opportunity to hone your instructional skills by working with an accomplished instructor as an assistant on one of our introductory courses.
