Use effective teaching techniques to move teaching away from one-way lectures and toward interactive learning experiences. Analyze learning requirements and clarify teaching goals. Develop learning objectives that tell learners what they will be able to do as a result of a unit of instruction and how they will be evaluated. Decide what actions the learner must perform and the knowledge required to perform them to meet the learning objectives. Choose instructional methods that are appropriate to the course content and adult learning styles, including: case study; demonstration; group discussion; reading; structured exercise; and instructor presentation. Develop lesson plans using the ROPES model (Review, Overview, Presentation, Exercise, and Summary). Use audiovisual aids to focus and emphasize learning. Practice training: Use all of the knowledge and skills learned during the course to prepare and deliver a sample lesson. Students will prepare a sample lesson and present that lesson to the group while being videotaped. The instructor and the group will provide constructive critique, and the student will use the videotape for self analysis. ITS1100: Train the Trainer Page 4 of 8
