In this episode we explore how deeply understanding skills makes you stand out as an instructor, and how generic aerial instruction is actually an equity problem.

Because describing movement isn't teaching - it's narration.

Today we consider a question from listener Rachel Lamb (@rlamb_leg) who observed that many studios have a trick-focused curriculum with significant gaps in the foundations.

We explore how this is a common pattern, when nonlinear pedagogy can workand when it introduces risk and limitations for students.

We talk about what it means to really devote ourselves to the craft of teaching and rising to the challenge of becoming an expert, not just guessing our way through.

In the final episode of our 3-part series devoted to beginners, we explore the emotional landscapes of new students and experienced instructors.

We consider how respecting the art form develops appreciation for the significance of the teaching role itself, fostering self-respect, and how caring for the art form helps us better care for our students as well.

We take you back to your first ever class, and explore how it informs your ever-evolving journey.

If you know teaching is more than a list of tricks, a job, a hobby, and you want the education and mentorship that can take you to the next level of your craft, check out the free training on the hidden gaps of aerial instruction and how we can close those gaps with the BLOOM Aerial teacher training - linked below.
