Teaching in PC
Teach! Cooperation, confidence, and leadership are all traits that Pony Club develops in its members and these are best built up in our youth members through teaching, while our adult Horse master members develop these traits through volunteerism. Teaching and volunteering is the best way for members to work together, gain self-confidence in their skills, and learn how to lead others. It is also a great way to really cement what they have learned. |

Peer-to-peer teaching is a very important part of Pony Club where a more experienced Pony Club member is assigned to a new member. The mentor member can answer questions (or refer the question to someone who can), encourage participation, explain the intricacies of Pony Club, and to just “be there” for the new member. As new members become integrated into the club and progress in their learning, they in turn are expected to help newer members.
As youth members reach the C level, they will begin to learn how to formally teach. They will begin with teaching Horse Management skills and advance to teaching riding skills. With the help of instructors and other adults in the club, members will learn how to make and implement a lesson plan, how to handle the unexpected (i.e., uncooperative mount, distressed child, etc.), how to evaluate the progress of students, and so much more.

WE REMEMBER
10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we see and hear 70% of what we discuss with others 80% of what we personally experience 90% of what we teach others - Edgar Dale |
