EST-3013 Methods of Teaching and Riding
This course introduces the student to a system of teaching that is based on a step by step approach leading to a pre-selected outcome. Students will explore the relationship between the instructor, the student and the horse; identify how students learn; begin to develop a system of teaching; format individual lesson plans; setting short and long semester goals; analyze, solve and improve students' performance problems; and demonstrate effective presentation techniques. Throughout the semester students will observe and maintain a journal of both lessons with instructors at Centenary University, as well as off premises lessons. Students will also be expected to teach a Basic/Equitation lesson upon completion of this course.
