Have you heard of the SOLO taxonomy?
… the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome, is a means of classifying learning outcomes in terms of their complexity, enabling us to assess students’ work in terms of its quality …

Bloom’s Taxonomy
Have you heard of Bloom’s taxonomy?
Here’s one version of the cognitive domain (knowledge) component.
Unsurprisingly, educators debate how accurately these steps actually model the ways we learn.
Here’s a much simplified variation I’ve often used. 🙂
Canadian Comp 2 coaching course
Following our June Comp 1 coaching course at Phoenix Gymnastics Vancouver, next day we immediately began a 4-day Comp 2 course. (The second Comp 2 to be offered in Canada, so far.)
A special thanks to Jeff Thompson and Gymnastics B.C. for making this happen. 🙂
Based on feedback from this fine group of coaches and clinicians, the final version might be launched as early as September 2016.
Gymnastics Canada needs clinicians for the Comp 2 coaching course. A clinicians training course is tentatively being offered Aug 31, Sept 1 & 2nd in Toronto. Any coach in Canada can apply through your Provincial Sports Governing Body.
Here’s an overview of the new Canadian Coach Education structure.
Gymneo – Yurchenko training
The subscription service Gymneo most recently posted:
Yurchenko part 1 (68min)
Yurchenko part 2 (53min)
I watched both straight through to compare with how we’re introducing that Vault in the Canadian Coach Education program.
The vault is very similar to double layout on Floor.
I was interested in two different hurdle actions compared. As always, the Gymneo graphics are excellent.

Canadian Comp 1 coaching course
Thanks Kyna Fletcher and Phoenix Gymnastics Vancouver for once again hosting our intensive 4 day Competition 1 coaching course. Phoenix is a leader in coach education.
The course is digital. Video and PDF.
Coaches can annotate the PDFs or print the material. Coach Kipp got his printed and bound for only $20.
Personally, I’m going to bring both printed and digital copies to future courses. As one coach noted: “Print copies don’t run out of battery in the middle of the session.”

North Edmonton Gymnastics Club
Shout out for hosting our 1 day NCCP Level 3 Practical coaching reunion. (One of the last ever to be scheduled. The NEW NCCP courses will soon be required instead. 🙂 )
I love your new facility.
