It was a positive experience for me so thanks for your time and patience.
I have tried to take on board what I learned during the course and am relating it to my working routines and practices.
This is of course a conitiuing process as I identify areas where I can improve what I do to improve the learning experience for each student.
I have had two new students start in the last couple of weeks so am paying particular attention to my use of coaching where appropriate. It's very tempting in the early stages to give detailed instruction and this can be the quickest way to make what seems like a lot of progress in a very short time…the down side is that the student just learns how to drive like the instructor says it should be done without valuing the skill and knowledge learned….Easy come - easy go!
I was delivering a "Turn in the Road" lesson yesterday and used a combination of coaching and a minimum of instruction and the result was that the student completed the turn in the road successfully with very little instruction and no frustration for either of us…Reuslt!
Apart from the essential advice about staying safe during the manouevre the lesson brief was simly a square drawn on a notepad saying drive slowly into each of the four corners of the square.
