Using your training
Things to think about:

  • Do you need a qualified instructor for your activity? (Module G)
  • What equipment do you need? (Module G)
  • Can all members of the section take part? (Module F)
  • Is the activity appropriate for the whole section? (Module C)

Evaluation
To be discussed with either ESL (YL), SL or YLU:

  • What have I done?
  • Why did I do it?
  • What did I want to achieve?
  • What did the section members get from it?
  • What did I learn from it?
  • What would I do differently next time?
  • How do I feel about it now?
