Instructor Development Workshop

Instructor Development Workshop

  This course primarily serves to give instructors, most of whom already have years of instructional experience within their own organizations, insight into adult education principles as well as the opportunity to comment on and improve their instructional style. The course focuses on enhancing instructional skills that may be applied within DHS-certified courses, but it also discusses organization-specific policies, procedures, and practices. The goal of this course is to ensure instructional excellence by providing a forum for experienced instructors to share their experiences with participants and learn together, both during discussions of instructional techniques and in commenting on each other’s presentation skills during prepared teachbacks.
 

Course Objectives
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify and discuss what enhances or detracts from the adult learning process.
  • Discuss the meaning and application of several instructional terms and concepts.
  • Summarize the characteristics of the adult learner.
  • Identify and describe characteristics of ineffective and effective instructors.
  • Employ the instructor assessment criteria used by NCBRT when assessing teachback deliveries.
  • Discuss specific presentation skills and techniques in detail.
  • Apply questioning techniques effectively.
  • Reflect upon and improve instructional methods and styles based on feedback and assessments from this exercise.
  • Identify and discuss different instructional methods.
  • Anticipate and/or respond effectively to challenging classroom situations associated with the instructor, the participant, and the learning environment.
  • Recognize and respond appropriately to challenges to the professional image of themselves and their organization.
 

  • Articulate the organization’s vision and its standards of conduct.
  • Reflect upon and improve instructional method and style based on feedback and assessments from this exercise.

The additional feedback and critique on my instructional method was invaluable. It was also nice to get a chance to see other people in action and pick up tricks from them. This has helped me numerous times as I give presentations and teach courses. The importance of the preparation phase was also impressed upon me, so I make sure to spend a bit of extra time before each course making sure it comes off as polished and as smoothly as possible.
