Teachers are usually asked to judge competitions. But judging requires a different skillset than teaching. Many teachers have been surviving judging for years using educated guessing and opinions based on experience, mainly because of lack of access to formal training in evaluation skills.
It's time to take judging more seriously and give these professionals access to this formal training.
This 4-hour version of the Game Changer Teachers Clinic adds essential yet hard-to-find movement analysis, assessment, and evaluation skills essential for judging.
We go beyond the opinions and administrative duties and teach the higher-order skill of evaluating movement so that judges can feel confident being accountable for their decisions.
