Trainer/Instructor Shadow Evaluation

Download this page as a Excel Doc

Throughout the season, our Trainer’s will shadow you while you teach to check in and provide feedback. If you are getting cleared to teach a discipline solo, this is the document we will use to ‘clear’ you.

Download this page to use as a guide for your lessons, or play with friends and evaluate each other.

This is used by our Nordic Trainers to evaluate and modify our training programs for Instructors, to provide constructive advice on ways to improve teaching and ultimately make sure our guests are getting the best possible lessons at Meadows Nordic Center.
