    Whats it Mean to be an Earn-A-Bike Instructor?


    Welcome to Instructor Training! Earn-A-Bike (EAB) Program Objectives To provide an opportunity for students to earn used bicycles through their participation in the program. To teach students basic bike mechanics and bike safety skills, and the increased self-sufficiency that comes with having these skills. To provide a safe, supportive, respectful environment for all the participants. To provide a pre-vocational training experience, in which students learn the value of participation, productive work, punctuality and dependability. In the course of doing all of the above, we are also helping students develop the following higher order thinking skills: Language Use of specific vocabulary to communicate a technical concept. Systems Understanding how the components of a system interact and function as a whole. Ability to identify what components make up a system. Process Understanding how processes can be broken down into steps. Ability to enumerate the steps in a simple process. Problem-Solving Diagnosing a problem and designing an effective approach to developing and testing solutions. Interpersonal Communication Interacting effectively with customers and others at all levels of interpersonal relations. Finally, the EAB program, through the training and role provided for volunteer instructors, creates an opportunity for older teens and adults to gain teaching experience in an inner city, multi-cultural setting.
