NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

According to the flight instructor, the student "flared high (about 15-20 feet) and the stall horn came on." The student attempted to recover by adding power and lowering the nose; however, the airplane impacted the runway "flat and hard, bouncing into the air," causing substantial damage. The flight instructor took control at this time and landed the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

the dual student's high flare resulting in an inadvertent stall/mush and a hard landing. A factor contributing to the accident was the flight instructor's inadequate supervision.
