Recently Klaas ask me to help with Public Education for the Northwest District of the Coast Guard Auxiliary.  This is an updated presentation of some best teaching best practices I have observed over the years.  Some of the suggestions I learned the hard way, I pass them on in the hope that this will help others not make some of the same mistakes I did and inspire others to improve their teaching skills.

Remember if you are not having fun, you are not doing it right, The class should also enjoy the presentation as well as learn something.  Many times the instructors also learn from the students.

If you have suggestions for teaching classes, please leave them in the comments for others to use.

Thanks for your interest in and contribution to boating safety
