It will provide you with some background on PSIA/AASI and also help you learn about our organization’s fundamental beliefs on snow sports instruction. Our goal with this workbook is to help steer discussions at your exam. While it is not required that you complete the whole workbook, we do ask that you review the information, think about the questions, make some notes, and come to the exam prepared to discuss the material. You should bring a copy of the workbook to your exam. Part of the Level I exam is based on your “professional knowledge” and this workbook is a great way to familiarize yourself with these concepts. Our hope is that this workbook will help you think about your own personal goals as an instructor and also what you hope to gain from your PSIA/AASI membership.  \nWhy do you teach?  \nThe process to become a certified snowsports instructor is a journey that will take you through training at your home mountain, practicing what you learned in clinics you have attended, becoming accustomed to providing for the needs of your guests, and growing from guests who challenge what you know about snowsports. There are a number of reasons one may decide to teach snowsports: The love of the sport, sharing your passion with others, relaxation on the weekends, or creating a lifestyle that fulfills your goals. For all these reasons, and the ones that are personal to you, teaching should be one of the most rewarding jobs you will ever have.  \nIt may be short sighted to believe that teaching snowsports is only a way to make cash while you ski or ride. Teaching snowsports is about helping guests develop their passion for the sport for themselves. Many veteran instructors careers’ began with the concept of teaching as sharing the sport they love with people who are new or unsure about snowsports. Their enthusiasm generally leads to the students’ genuine desire to learn.  \nAs instructors, we have the honor of representing our mountain, school, and sport. One of the goals to strive for, as a snowsports instructor, is to personify professionalism. Becoming affiliated with a school is the first step as you will receive training and learn from your fellow peers. Becoming an effective instructor is the next step that will take much trial and error, desire to further your training, dedication, and persistence. Teaching in any form is a constant learning experience. PSIA and AASI provides a way for instructors to continue striving for excellence in their teaching and personal development as a snowsports professional.  \nNo one can tell you if you should or should not become a certified instructor, but rather, you should think about your goals as an instructor. Do you see yourself continuing this career later in life? Do you desire to teach a wider range of lessons? Are you interested in meeting new people and exploring different mountains? Saying yes to any of these questions may indicate that certification is for you.  \nThe certification standards are based upon “levels of understanding,” which define the stages of learning and degrees of understanding that occurs as a student progresses from novice to expert. Certification represents a mastery of the various levels of snowsports instruction as they relate to overall understanding and skill in the sport. Candidates will be held to the knowledge and performance standards of the level at which they are testing as well as the criteria for all preceding levels.  \nThroughout your experiences in your first years of teaching, keep an open mind and understand that learning is a process, and those who are trying to share it with you each have something to share with you that you can learn from. Enjoy the journey…  \nWhy do you enjoy skiing/riding?
