education instructors needed |
|
February 17, 2016 |
Idaho’s hunter education program is looking for
new volunteer instructors to help ensure that
the newest generation of hunters has a thorough
understanding of safety, ethics and
conservation.
“The backbone of Idaho’s hunter education
training effort rests on the volunteer
instructors, who give their time, passion and
energy to the program,” said Brenda Beckley,
Fish and Game’s Hunter Education Program
Coordinator. “Our goal of recruiting new
instructors is to help lighten the load on our
current volunteers and to provide additional
classes needed to satisfy student demand.”
Learn more about the program and how to become
an instructor by contacting your local Fish and
Game office today. Additional information can be
found at

Fish and Game often hosts orientation meetings
where the instructor certification process is
explained, as well as how to organize classes,
select meeting sites, how to order supplies and
register students. Participants will also learn
how to use lesson plans and how to employ
effective teaching techniques in the classroom
and at the rifle range.
Each year, over 11,500 students complete the
state’s hunter and bowhunter education courses.
The courses are offered throughout the state, on
weekends and weekday evenings, and are taught by
veteran hunters who volunteer their time.
