Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

Q1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your Independent study component.

A1) I plan on to continue teaching Taekwondo as mentorship and paying extra attention to the sparring classes and form classes, because in Taekwondo competitions those are the main categories. I also intend to try to apply what I teach my students myself in my own performance. For example if I tell my students to do this technique during sparring, I plan on doing it myself to see if it will work or not. Or if I tell  my students to kick like this during a form I will do the same and apply it to myself. Also if I get stuck with anything I will seek my mentor for any help.

Q2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours of requirement.

A2) I already have a set schecdule of what days I go to Taekwondo, which are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Tues through Friday I am usually there from 4:00pm to 9:00pm and Saturdays I am usally there from 8:00am to 12:00pm. I am basically there most of the week and so I could get most of the work done there.

Q3) How does your independent study component relate to your working EQ?

A3) This component relates to my EQ because of the teaching method I will be testing. First of all my EQ is "what are the best ways to coach a winning Taekwondo competition ?", and the independent component will help me solve and figure out which teaching methods are efficient and which teaching methods are ineffective.
