Athletic trainers teach in a variety of situations. These situations might include: (1) teaching an athlete a rehabilitation routine; (2) teaching a group of athletes a preventive procedure; (3) teaching one or more athletic training students in a practicum or internship situation; (4) teaching a formal theory athletic training class; or (5) teaching a workshop, clinic, or seminar. Becoming an effective teacher takes some planning. In preparing a lesson or lecture, athletic trainers should take into account: (1) selection and organization of the content; (2) selection of the presentation methods; (3) instructional resources; (4) conditions for successful learning; and (5) evaluation of teacher effectiveness.
