RiderCoach Guide pg. 28 States: "Classroom segments are generally divided into
three steps: These are to 1) setup a lesson by stating the objective and making content meaningful; 2) generate learner-centered activities using small groups; study questions and appropriate creative activities; and 3) reinforce principles and content with the use of training aids."
Training Aids in the Classroom
![Page 5: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why is setting up the unit / section important?
• Sets-up students expectations
• Preview of what's to come
• Defines objective for the unit
• If done correctly, it peaks curiosity
Unit/Section Setup
![Page 6: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why is making the content meaningful so important?
• Keeps the students engaged in learning
• Accelerates the learning process
• Learners are constantly searching for connections
with their own experiences
• Increases the students ability to retain the information
for longer periods of time
Unit/Section Setup

Unit II - Introduction to Motorcycling
“This section is called "Introduction to Motorcycling." In this section we will learn the difference between cars and motorcycles and how these differences increase your risk as a future rider. Unfortunately, your mother was correct when she told you that motorcycles are dangerous. However, a good motorcyclist rides with a strategy. This strategy will be introduced later in this section. Lets get started by answering a few questions."
Unit/Section Setup - Example
![Page 8: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Unit/Section Setup - Helpful Hints
• Consult RiderCoach Guide - Key Learning Points for relevant information about unit /section
• Make content meaningful by relating unit / section Key Learning Points to a the real world
• Try to make it personal• Be brief, only touch on key concepts. Let the
questions bring out the details.
![Page 9: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why is it helpful to point out the illustrations in the Rider Handbook?
• Visual Tools
• Used to Reinforce Unit Content
• A Picture is worth a thousand words
• Opportunity to engage Students in a different way
• Can be used to cover Knowledge Test Questions that
are not covered in the study questions
BRC Classroom training Aid: The Illustration
![Page 10: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Illustrations Continued
How should we use the Illustrations?
• Mention the relevant illustration in a timely manner
• Have students describe what they see
• Ask learner-centered questions about the illustration.
• Make illustration Relevant
• Don't miss an easy opportunity to reinforce a concept
![Page 11: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Illustration - Example
Direct Riders to look at the illustration on page 23 ”Can someone describe what they see?” ”What is the best way to achieve maximum braking?” "How can we better prepare ourselves?"
![Page 12: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why use a “Hook?”• Keeps Students Engaged
• Reinforces Key Concepts
• Provides opportunity to Visual learners

Level Two Classroom GoalsStreet Strategies
• Provide students with Mental tools• Be able to identify Risk • Development of a Personnel Riding
Strategy• Identify Common Collision traps
• Who makes these decisions?• When are these decisions made?

• Motor skills are best developed when taught in a whole-to-part manner. It's best to learn the whole skills first, later to refine that skill with practice and coaching.
• Gross motor skills (those utilizing major muscles use) should be practiced before fine motor skills are developed.
• Novices learn best if first given a gross motor skill
outline instead of details of movement.
Motor Skill Principals (pg. 33 Rider Coach Guide)
![Page 22: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Motor Skill Principals Continued
Coaching Traps to Avoid
•Too much information, or over-coaching, can inhibit the
development of motor skills
•Extensive preliminary verbal instruction inhibits motor
skill learning.
•Technical verbal instruction before actual practice
usually does not improve motor skill development.
![Page 23: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Simulated Practice ContinuedSimulated Practice Continued
• Used to introduce the Gross Motor skill
required for a particular exercise
• Verbiage should be short and concise
• See CONREP simulated practice guide for
suggested simulated practice

"Debriefing: at the end of each exercise, a
RiderCoach should ask learner-centered
questions to ensure that riders understand the
significance of the skills practiced and learned."
(RiderCoach Guide pg. 49a & Range Cards)
Range Coaching Tool - De(BRIEF)ing
![Page 28: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Used to reinforce the objective of the exercise
• Ask learner-centered questions
• Direct conversation to stay on topic
• Let the students share their experience with the
group. Not your (instructor) experiences
• Let the students discover what you already know
• Be Brief

Debriefing Examples
• What did you learn about ______? Braking,
Turning, Balance, Friction Zone …..
• What helped you accomplish _____?Braking,
Turning, Balance, Friction Zone …..
• Did anyone share that experience?
![Page 30: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Importance of Motorcycle Familiarization
• Start Good Habits
• Set expectations early
• Be Consistent
![Page 31: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Informally Starts when students arrive
• Get the students involved as they arrive
• Let them walk around the Motorcycles
• Observe the Differences in Motorcycle Styles
• allow students to mount - provided all their gear is on.
• Allow exploration
• 6:1
![Page 32: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Getting the Most From Ex. #1
Why is Exercise #1 so important?• Sets the tone for the remaining range exercises
• If used correctly, it puts the novice riders at ease
• Demonstrates the Building Block approach
• Gives RiderCoaches the ability to correct bad
riding habits while the motorcycles are stationary
![Page 33: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Getting the Most From Ex. #1
Objectives (RiderCoach Guide pg. 51 & Range Cards) To identify location and operation of important
controls and partsUse controls smoothly Use side stand fully Squeeze front brake when mounting and
dismountingUse good posture Use FINE-C and proper shutdown procedures
![Page 34: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Techniques to Emphasize
• Riding Posture• Assume Proper Riding Posture
• Wrist Down Position• Head and Eyes up• Cover the Clutch• Do NOT Cover the Brake
• Not only for this exercise but for remainder of Class• Then you can use it prior to each Simulated
Practice
![Page 35: You don’t have to be sick to get better](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568167a0550346895ddcea1c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Techniques to Emphasize
• Use Controls Smoothly – Front Brake • Static use is difficult to coach• Reinforce brake usage while students are
pushing their motorcycles to the start position of exercise 2.
• Repeat as needed to ensure that riders do not GRAB the front brake lever.
• Most novice riders are surprised the first time the apply the front brake

Conclusion
There are many ways to Present the BRC:
•Stimulate•Interactive•Relevant•Discovery•Keep Students involved
