About This Course

Topic: Using Telling is Not Teaching as a guide, Mike Thompson adds value to the content of the FAA Aviation Instructor's Handbook

Telling is Not Teaching Certified flight instructors are rarely educators. Many see instruction as a stepping-stone to the next level of their flight careers and assume that merely telling is the equivalent of teaching. We tell, we show, but we rarely teach—and in failing to do so, we do our students a disservice. This mistake is detrimental to both students and the aviation industry. True teaching requires a deeper relationship. In fact, central to educational psychology it is sometimes forgotten as we increasingly rely on electronic media for instruction. Despite advances in educational technology, the human brain continues to learn in much the same way that it always has. Join veteran flight instructor and educator Mike Thompson as he applies the principles of educational psychology from the FAA-H-8083-9A Aviation Instructor’s Handbook to the art and science of teaching. Using simple, down-to-earth language, Thompson examines how to enable genuine teaching by developing the student-instructor relationship. Not just for flight instructors, Thompson’s advice will help any educator make the shift from telling to encouraging deep learning.
