PSIA-AASI First Chair Podcast host George Thomas catches up with Angelo Ross again. Angelo is the Education Development Manager at PSIA-AASI and is a wealth of knowledge on many topics. George and Thomas talk about the "Expert Trap" and how it impacts lessons and how you can be more aware that you're doing it. The Expert Trap is when students get or feel trapped by their expert instructors as they share all the knowledge they know. As explained, instructors sometimes feel they should give all the information at once rather than in more bite-sized pieces. George and Angelo discuss some examples of this, some reasons why this happens, and some practical ways to avoid being too overwhelming as a teacher. As it often does, it comes down to student-centered teaching and adapting to the needs of the learner. The tools to learn this and apply it can all be found in PSIA-AASI education materials.
