Course Summary
This program walks through many of the fundamentals of proper instruction and its challenges. Instructors should consider what they do well and seek areas they might improve on, no matter the course or topic of instruction they teach.
This course will discuss the following topics:
Role of the trainer and adult learner
What is "chunking" and why "chunking" the training content is important
How to create lesson outlines/plans and performance goals/objectives
Three behaviors training can change
Liability and ethics of training
Effective use of training aids in the classroom
How to avoid "death by PowerPoint" in your presentations
Public speaking and enhancing presentation skills
In addition to the very practical information on how instructors can improve teaching and retention in their classes, this course also includes case laws and teachings on the differences between training liability, vicarious liability, and negligent retention.
Training has always been important in the law enforcement industry, but never so much as it is in today's hostile policing environment!
