Álvaro Altabella and his CAS project: practical training in order to become a certified ski instructor
With winter right around the corner, 2 IB student Álvaro Altabella shares his CAS project, which took place last ski season and consisted of completing 150 hours of practical training in order to become a certified ski instructor.
For his project, he traveled up to the mountains every weekend to reach his goal. He worked alongside primary instructors and monitors as an assistant or a second teacher of sorts. He explained activities, helped struggling students, and followed ski groups from behind to make sure everyone was keeping up comfortably. Throughout the project, he had to adapt to several different ski levels through organizing ski games and flat-hill races for younger
children, while rotating to assist instructors with higher-level skiers on other days.
By the end of the ski season, he was given the opportunity to, when he was more experienced, get paired with a student with disabilities and, alongside a ski monitor, teach the student to ski and participate in other winter activities such as sledding.
Altogether, this project allowed Álvaro to improve his confidence when it comes to teaching on the slopes, as well as affirm his ability to adapt his teaching to support students with diverse needs, all while reaching his goal of becoming a certified ski instructor.
