INSTRUCTORS:
- UPDATE FOR 2020: You must present lesson plans & teaching/learning aids to the respective Level Officer for each of your lessons at least 2 weeks before each lesson. For example, if your lesson is to be taught to Level 1s, please see the Level 1 Officer. If your lesson is taught to many levels at once, please see the Level Officer of your choice. Once reviewed/approved, submit your lesson plans & electronic teaching/learning aids (ie Powerpoint presentation) HERE. Once a lesson has been taught, hand in your physical teaching/learning aids (ie game, map, quiz, etc.) to the respective Level Officer for possible archiving in the training office. Keep your flip charts in a roll as you may teach the same lesson(s) 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).
