This course is designed to prepare teachers to be able to engage in flat water kayaking instruction and to help them learn the pedagogical approaches that will assist them in promoting paddling as a life-long activity. The course includes on-water and dockside safety, environmental hazards, adaptive equipment, skill-based games, and helps attune teachers to on-water risks. Teachers will also develop skills and teaching strategies for planning a progression of paddling skills for students in secondary schools. Three credits.
