This one day practical course will explore a stepped approach to teaching navigation to trainee leaders on Mountain Training courses such as lowland Leader award, Hill and Moorland Leader and Mountain Leader. The course is ran by Nigel Williams who is the Head of Training at Glenmore lodge. Nigel is also as an MIC, ML course director and level 3 orienteering coach and has a vast experience of teaching navigation. This course which will explore along the lines of the orienteering step system which provides a simple progression model but re-titled, with phrases about speed removed and references to other maps, technology and environmental conditions added. This course will help create a clearer picture with the potential to provide guidance as to what is relevant to each of our awards similar to the technical difficulty (TD) categories that exist in orienteering coaching.During the day we will explore systematic progressions for teaching navigation at each level. Using innovative ideas and exercises candidates should end the day with a tool box of new ideas and an ability to analyse their students understanding of the concepts and provide simple easy steps to support their learning from the class room to mountain. The workshop is often a great refresher of personal navigation skills as well.
