Prerequisites for becoming a Trainer-Evaluator<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Patrollers who want to become Trainer-Evaluators must begin by contacting their Regional OET Advisor.\u00a0 TEs are regional staff members directed by the OET RA.\u00a0 Individual regions decide how many TE Trainee openings are required to fill the Region\u2019s needs.\u00a0 It takes a minimum of a season and a half before TE Trainees are ready for evaluation in front of the division\u2019s OET Steering Committee.\u00a0 Most trainees take more than two years to master the level of performance, teaching skills, and the ability to evaluate Senior Candidates.\u00a0 The Regional Staff that takes on a Trainee is responsible for preparing them for successfully passing the TE evaluation.<\/p>\n

The following list shows the prerequisites required in the typical order achieved by TE Trainees:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each Region manages this process differently.\u00a0 Some RAs require a formal application and issue TE Trainees mentoring forms for logging their training and teaching opportunities.\u00a0 Other regions mentor their trainees informally.<\/p>\n

Becoming an OET Trainer-Evaluator is not a level for achievement, it is reserved for those who show dedication for teaching at the Regional level on a Regional Senior Training Staff.\u00a0 Re-Certification at a Patroller School event is required every three years to maintain a Trainer-Evaluator certification, furthermore, all the NSP requirements for maintaining an OET Toboggan Instructor appointment must be done concurrently.<\/p>\n

Differences between Senior and TE criteria include mastery of a higher standard and expectation of increased consistency, the ability to demo the skills, and proficiency in teaching Senior Candidates.\u00a0 The TE Evaluation is often focused on the ability to teach, performing the skills as seen in the quality of the Trainee\u2019s demos, and mastery of the standard.<\/p>\n

The standards for skiing, patroller skills, and toboggan handling tasks are similar to those used in Senior evaluations, however, they include specific language denoting a higher performance level.\u00a0 Performance level differences should be evident in the bulleted descriptions and accompanying videos.\u00a0 To highlight the difference, the word \u201cPerformance\u201d has been added to some of the elements.<\/p>\n

Therefore the passing score for each element remains at \u201cSatisfactory – Essential elements appear frequently at a satisfactory level\u201d or higher. Scorecard-wise, the passing grade “SATISFACTORY LEVEL” is identical to what is considered passing for Senior Candidates. But \u201clevel of mastery\u201d and performance on the higher standard describes successful TE Trainees. The difference between these two “levels of mastery” appears in the accompanying videos. For a detailed description of how scoring is determined at OET evaluations, review the OET Scoring Expectations<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Ski\/Ride Fundamentals<\/b><\/h3>\n

Eastern Division OET utilizes the \u201c5 Fundamentals\u201d described by PSIA\/AASI in the Alpine Technical Manual to guide our coaching for all graded elements — toboggan Handling, Patroller Skills, and Skiing\/Riding.\u00a0 It allows for consistency between NSP instructors and our partners in PSIA who assist in training patrollers.<\/p>\n

    What are the \u201cSix Fundamentals of Telemark Skiing?” <\/b><\/h3>\n

    Telemark skiing incorporates skiing’s Five Fundamentals and adds a centerpiece fundamental known as Lead Change.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. LEAD CHANGE:\u00a0 control the size, duration, intensity, rate, and timing of the lead change to manage fore\/aft stability.<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Control the relationship of the Center of Mass (CM) to the base of support (BOS) to direct pressure along the length of the skis.<\/a><\/li>\n
    3. Control pressure from ski to ski and direct pressure toward the outside ski (alpine turning) and control the lateral relationship of the CM to the BOS to manage pressure from ski to ski (telemark turning).<\/a><\/li>\n
    4. Control edge angles through a combination of inclination and angulation.<\/a><\/li>\n
    5. Control the skis\u2019 rotation with leg rotation, separate from the upper body.<\/a><\/li>\n
    6. Regulate the magnitude of pressure created through ski\/snow interaction.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The most important benefit of “lead change” is to create a stable stance.\u00a0 With an unattached heel, stability can become compromised. By controlling multiple aspects of this movement, telemark skiers can return fore\/aft stability to the movements in order to achieve an effective blend of the remaining Five Fundamentals which are identical to alpine skiing.<\/p>\n
