  • Kayak 2 Assessment Guide
    Kayak Instructor – Level 2 Photo: Charlie Martin Assessment Guide For Assessors and Candidates Kayak Skills Instruction Kayak Level 2 - Assessment Guide © NZOIA Aug 2014 in conjunction with WWNZ Assessment Notes This Assessment Guide is to assist assessors with judging a candidate’s competency. All judgements must be based on current best practice and industry standards. This guide is also to help candidates know what they will be assessed on and what assessment tasks they will be asked to complete. Assessors use three types of direct evidence to judge a candidate’s competency: - Written questions / assignment - Oral questions and discussion - Observation of practical tasks Assessment - Kayak Skills Instruction Technical Competence 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the development of whitewater kayaking as a sport including current developments and trends The candidate will have understanding and awareness of: Competitive whitewater kayaking and the areas used for these events in New Zealand The variety of types of whitewater kayaking currently undertaken in New Zealand e.g. slalom, freestyle, extreme racing, multisport Identify and critique learning resources for kayak instruction/techniques 2. Demonstrate intermediate freestyle moves The candidate will role model intermediate freestyle moves (i.e. making good visual images suitable for students to learn from). These may include, but are not limited to: Surfing; carving, flat-spin, blunt Hole riding; maneuver, roll, spin, cartwheel, blast Eddy-line; stern squirt, screw up, stalls, cartwheel Note: Candidates are not expected to be able to ‘role model’ all these techniques. It is expected you could perform them to a level which can ‘enhance’ a student’s river running and river play options.
