Course Materials
There are many details involved in teaching Team Oregon courses. These resources will support your efforts.
Range Card Updates
In 2022, Stopping Quickly (Basic Ex. 13 and Intermediate Ex. 2) was modified to bring clarity to the start of the exercise. The directions are now consistent with Exercise Guidelines on the right. In short, you will read Directions and Evaluate Understanding in staging, then send students to the start points.
Instructors will receive a letter and adhesive decals to update their range cards on Page 30 (Basic) and Page 6 (Intermediate). View sample
Stopping Quickly Range Tip: After Evaluate Understanding, direct students up the center of the range and to the start cone furthest from staging. Direct the second half of the group to follow and line up at the nearest cone.
Instructor Guides (May 2023)
We restored the break after Unit 9 to the April 2022 BRT Instructor Guide (IG). Download the whole guide and print pages 60-IG61 to bring your IG up to date.
