Educational Events for Coaches and Directors
Just thought I'd start a new thread for this season's upcoming workshops, seminars and other educational opportunities. Please post any events that you don't see on this thread.
PSA educational credit affadavit: http://www.skatepsa.com/PDF%20Documents/new%20aff.pdf NB: Looks like this is revised from last year. A PSA member can attend an educational event and send in an affadavit even if they are not rated yet. They have one year to take the BA exam after the workshop. The credits will be "counted" towards their required education.

USFSA Basic Skills Meetings and Workshops
From the USFSA Basic Skills program:
Jan. 30, 2010 – Ogden, Utah March 6, 2010 – Northfield, Minn. April 18, 2010 – Pineville, N.C. I attended the instructor's workshop two years ago and it was wonderful. (It was a full day, however, and included lunch.) It gave me validation of my already-established teaching skills and helped me learn new ways of teaching elements. The workshop included on- and off-ice presentations and discussions. I really appreciated the Lesson Planning segments. After you've completed the half-day instructors' course, there is a "Learn to Teach" written exam for the Basic Skills program that earns you a certificate of completion. It's not a PSA exam, just a "what did you learn? Very good: here's your certificate" exercise. I haven't attended a half-day Directors' meeting. It's focused more on the business end of running a program. PSA members can take the written Basic Accreditation and Sports Science exams after the workshop. You can submit an affadavit to the PSA and receive continuing educational credits towards maintaining your PSA Ratings. (They announce the number of credits you can claim during the workshop.) The Directors Meeting and Instructors Workshop each cost $35, according to the forms on the website. One takes place in the morning, the other in the afternoon, so interested pros can attend both if desired.

The Management series is geared more towards Directors and Rink Managers. It's not offered at all sites. The ISI Judges' exams are available after the workshop. You can submit the seminar for PSA educational credits using the PSA Affadavit form. The meeting coordinator will tell you how many eligible credits are available.

PSA Entry Level Coaching Course
From the PSA website: http://www.skatepsa.com/PSA-Entry-Le...ng-Course-.htm
Quote:
I really like the fact that they've made it clear that you do NOT have to be a PSA member to attend this course. It would be great for a coach just starting out. NOTE: There are no upcoming dates for this workshop. Hopefully, new dates will be announced soon.
