In this episode of The Dive Locker Podcast we look at how to be a master of your domain in the classroom.
Welcome To The Show!
Welcome to The Dive Locker Podcast, the podcast for dive professionals where we bring you the latest in diving industry resources that make you excellent at teaching techniques, risk management and dive business.
Today we launch a three part series on mastery of domain. So what does that mean? Mastery of Domain is an instructional concept that was first introduced to me in of all places, the police academy. In essence it is all about one’s command and control of an environment. And in diving instruction we have three unique environments that we must master and be in control of – they are the classroom, the pool or confined water and the open water.
And today we’re going to look at how you can absolutely be a master of your classroom. When you truly are comfortable and in control of the classroom environment, the experience for the student changes. They actually learn better. So here I will share some top techniques for you to obtain mastery of the classroom environment.
