So You Want
to be a USGTF Examiner?
It
takes a special type of person to be a USGTF examiner – someone
with talent, leadership skills and dedication to the growth of
the sport.
The first step in attaining this goal is to secure
your Level IV USGTF Master Teaching Professional certification.
This as you know is the highest level of certification in the
organization. Another step is to shadow a Level I or Level II
certification and experience what it is like to give out information
instead of taking it. Many find this a very challenging, completely
different experience to truly coach your peers.
The outcome of the travel, coaching and understudying
is an individual who has a greater understanding of how to present
information to his or her peers and is a very valuable asset to
our organization. They also are now on their way to understanding
exams and higher level education events.
You will find that the examining staff share ideas
and information, try new slants on concepts and allow you to bring
your ideas to the table.
The selection of USGTF examiners is developed from
an interview based format. The interview is just like a job interview
because obviously, this is a job. In order to be invited to the
interview, candidates will require the following:
The first examiners’ training programs will be held
the day after the two scheduled Level IV courses September 13-17
in Phoenix, Arizona and October 18-22, Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Cost $75.
In the meantime, USGTF professional development
is every member’s responsibility. If examining at certification
courses is a career goal for you, you should strongly consider
the USGTF Examiners' Training Program.
