• The ability to organize and present a lesson that is based on student desires, motivation, abilities.
• How to deliver a logical progression of experiences, activities, exercises, and/or games that culminate in a memorable lesson.
• The ability to influence learning by continually assessing and adapting to ongoing performance.

Clinic Experiences:

• Clinic leaders may present a 45-60 min. lesson that demonstrates collaboration in determining the outcome, development of an initial experience, clear/logical progressive communication of information, and pacing of activities/practice, and effective review/reflection of the lesson.
• Clinic leaders will facilitate participants' ability to practice collaborating with students to develop a plan with a common theme that allows for individualized experiences and optimizes student engagement in the learning process.
• Clinic leaders will facilitate participants' ability to continually assess and adapt pacing of activities to allow for individual customization within the common theme.
• Clinic leaders will facilitate participants' ability to manage activities to provide ample opportunity for practice, play and exploration in order to develop student's own understanding of performance.
• Clinic leaders will facilitate participants' ability to adapt activities to accommodate individual differences in performance and understanding as they occur.
• Clinic leaders will facilitate participants' ability to ask purposeful questions that encourage the student's ability to recognize, reflect upon and assess the experiences to enhance understanding and application.
