No, it's not the first thing you teach them, but I'm quite sure NASA teaches Group 1 and 2 students the art of trailbraking and tells them to experiment on safe turns with lots of run off and to tell your instructor you'll be trying it.
They never tought me trailbreaking in group 1 or 2. But my instructor says i do it naturally in turn 3 and 4.
