Standards: according to the checklist…., according to the post orders, performance standards, instructions…, etc.

Enabling Performance Objectives (EPO): Enter the steps vital to the performance or leading to accomplishment of the TPO. EPOs are student-oriented, stated in terms of job-relatable and measurable performance. All of the EPOs together enable the student to perform the TPO.

Student oriented: what the student does, or will be able to do: Measurable: identify, choose, demonstrate, list.

Instructional Method: Lecture, Discussion, Lab

Method of Evaluation: Demonstration-hands on, examination, practical exercise, student participation

Course Test Questions: For each course Enabling Objective create three test questions.

Classroom Requirements: Items needed to teach the course eg: Computer, projector, x-ray machine, etc.

Lab Requirements: (If not applicable, note “N/A”).

Instructor Aids/ Material: Computer, Power Point Presentation, Guide Book, Manual used.

Page 2 – Outline of Instruction

I: Introduction: Will establish rapport, contain an Opening Statement, and provide a Lesson Plan Overview.

A-Lesson Plan Overview: May also contain information about the importance and relevance of the lesson and how the lesson will be conducted. It contains the TPO and a list of the EPOs.

II. Presentation: Will contain the EPOs and the supporting teaching points for each EPO. It may also contain examples, activities, and instructor notes. The developer(s) will evaluate media (films, videotapes, slides, etc.) and student reference materials used for instruction to ascertain that the information is accurate, relevant, current, and free of racial, cultural, and religious insensitivities except as appropriately used in instructional examples.

III. Lab Exercise (if Required)

A practical exercise is used as an evaluation instrument to assure students understand and have learned the EPO’s of the course.

IV. Summary

Review of main learning points and teaching points attained by students during course instruction.

V. Application

Student will display their new abilities, understanding, and will exhibit these new skills sets learned.

The student will be evaluated on these new skill sets in the form of a practical exercise lab or by a multiple test examination.

Any questions should be directed to the Assistant Chief of Training and Compliance Branch-Office of Court Security.
