BAI Program Planning & Curriculum Development Flashcards

What is the best method for tracking individual student progress across multiple archery sessions?

Answer: Maintaining written or digital progress records for each student

Written or digital records provide an objective, reliable history of each student's skill development over time.

A BAI instructor notices that a specific skill is consistently difficult for most students. The best response is to:

Answer: Re-examine the instructional approach and try alternative teaching methods

When most students struggle with the same skill, the instructor should evaluate and adjust their teaching method rather than assuming student fault.

Which of the following best describes a capstone activity appropriate for the end of a beginner BAI archery course?

Answer: A skills demonstration where students perform the full shooting sequence with proper form

A capstone skills demonstration allows students to apply and display the complete shooting sequence they have learned throughout the course.

How should a BAI instructor handle a student who becomes frustrated during skill practice?

Answer: Provide positive encouragement, simplify the task, and focus on small achievable goals

Positive encouragement and breaking the skill into smaller, achievable steps helps frustrated students regain confidence and continue learning.

What type of feedback is most effective when coaching a beginner archer on form corrections?

Answer: Specific, actionable feedback describing what to change and how

Specific, actionable feedback given in the moment tells the student exactly what to change and how to correct it.

Answer: Listen respectfully, evaluate the validity, and make appropriate adjustments

Respectfully listening to feedback, evaluating its merit, and making appropriate adjustments demonstrates professionalism and commitment to program quality.
