KIDS MODULE | 1-DAY KIDS SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT MODULE
The 1-day Kids Module is a professional training module to further the skills and knowledge of PMBIA instructors. The 1-day module is packed with value as instructors learn a multitude of tools to develop their teaching, including but not limited to; how to adapt their lessons for children of different age groups, kids-specific bike and equipment set up, risk management and concussion protocols, more strategies for guiding children safely on technical terrain, as well as explore techniques to help manage the behaviour and expectations of children. While the Kids Module is a great way for Level 1 Instructors to learn more about teaching kids mountain bike programs, it also introduces some new teaching concepts, acting as great preparation for the Level 2 and 3 certifications. The Kids Module also provides access to the latest PMBIA Reference Guide, Kids Module Booklet (complete with course-specific content), and the Kids Module Worksheet. COURSE CONTEXT- Instructors looking to learn more tools and techniques to teach kids mountain bike programs, and how to adapt to different age groups.
