Accredited Children's Educator (ACE) - Led by members of the children's education clinician team, this educational course will be held both on and off snow and will investigate how children and teens move, behave, and learn as they grow. Additionally, the clinicians will facilitate discussions and activities that will help instructors design lesson plans that encourage exploration of the mountain environment on skis or snowboards. Instructors will be given a self-study handbook that quizzes their knowledge about the information shared during the course as well as information referenced from the new, 2008 PSIA Children's Instruction Manual. Instructors completing this two-day course, along with the workbook will be recognized as an Accredited Children's Educator (ACE) by PSIA/AASI-NRM. This event is two days and is open to Level II members of any snowsports discipline. Completion of the ACE program (clinic plus workbook) is required for all DCEs.
