Once a lesson has been taught, hand in your physical teaching/learning aids (ie game, map, quiz, etc.) to the Chief Instructor for archiving in the training office. Keep your flip charts in a roll as you may teach the same lessons next training year(s).
- Make your lessons engaging! The quality of your teaching/learning aids is way more important than your lesson plans, so remember the principles of instruction, known as "ICE PAC" (Interest / Comprehension / Emphasis / Participation / Accomplishment / Confirmation).
