Instructor Training Introduction Process
A perspective from Tony Grigsby


Instructor Training is a great responsibility. To reach this level of training you have taken your time that would have normally been used for pleasure activities and put them aside. To be an Instructor of anything takes a level of proficiency in the subject in which you will teach. To be able to teach that subject is the true art of being an Instructor.

In becoming an Instructor you would usually attend a Fundamentals for Instructors class to help you in not only understanding the foundations of teaching but giving you broad perspective in ways of delivering your message to your students. You would also receive hands on teaching assignments as well as critique from an Instructor Trainer or Instructor Trainer Trainer (ITT).

During this process you will be told of things to do and not to do. Understand that not everyone has the natural ability to teach and not all teachers came by it natural in knowing how to do it. Patience is a necessity if you want to be a good Instructor. Understanding that not everyone you teach will master the skills or subject you teach but it is so rewarding to see a student achieve their desired goal and you helping them to reach it plays the part of what is a good Instructor. It is recommended that prior to becoming an Instructor, that you have experience in the skill you teach or the topic you deliver.

Being an Instructor Trainer Trainer (Instructor Cadre) myself for over 18 years in teaching the experience I had prior, helped tremendously to adapt the subject matter and the retention of the topic to teach in a flowing stride.

When you have confidence in the material you deliver it will make teaching itself much easier for not only you the Instructor but the student too. You should have an attitude that you learn something everyday. If you ever become the infamous "know it all" you will find yourself never keeping up with the latest trends, events, and change in the material. Simply put you will feel that the original way is and will always be the best. If you find yourself with the attitude of learning something everyday then you will be one of the Instructors that might improve the curriculum for betterment of the material.

There will be times as an Instructor you will be questioned by a student of why this or that and from the interpretation of the material may open the door in your mind of just what it means to learn yourself. Sometimes you may not understand why a student just don't get it. That’s when you lean on your Instructor Trainer to help you figure out if there is another way to deliver or teach the topic when faced with this problem. It should be noted that if the student has no interest what so ever in the topic you are trying to teach, you may lose the student entirely.

This is yet another original ability some Instructors have in making the best of what they teach to spark that interest the student never knew they had. Should you choose to take the path of becoming an Instructor or even further by becoming an Instructor Trainer remember everyone was a student once including you. The one you teach today could be inspired by you to teach tomorrow.
