• Master-at-Arms “A School”, (A-7H-0011)

• Navy Security Force Law Enforcement (A-7H-0012)

Note 1: Additional course revisions throughout the execution of this contract will result in changes to this list and updates to TCCDs. The contractor will be provided with copies of changed or added TCCDs when they become approved curriculum.

SECTION 3 TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

Section 3-1 General Requirements

The normal training cycle for Navy personnel is focused on the development of individual skills to support the accomplishment of generalized missions. Most of these missions are related to traditional Navy functions. In accordance with Sections 4 and 5 of the PWS, the contractor shall provide fully qualified and certified instructors as specified.

Section 3-1.1 Training Environment

The services required hereunder will be performed in one of the following specific instructional environments (these training environments are provided and maintained by the Government):

• Legacy Environment (Group-Paced, Instructor-Led). This is traditional classroom didactic instruction in a Navy resident schoolhouse environment. The contractor shall provide on-site instructors to teach the course.

• Legacy Lab Environment (Group-Paced, Instructor-Led). This includes Group-paced dynamic instruction in a Navy schoolhouse environment. The contractor shall provide on-site instruction/facilitation.

• Blended Learning. Structured opportunities to learn which use more than one teaching or training method, inside or outside the classroom, through which at least part of the content is delivered by computer-based instruction. This definition includes different learning or instructional methods (lecture, discussion, guided practice, reading, games case study, simulation) different delivery methods (face-to-face or computer mediated), different scheduling (synchronous or asynchronous) and different levels of guidance

(individual, instructor or expert led, or group/social learning). More commonly, blended learning refers to a combination of face-to-face teaching and technologies; (Adapted from Seel 2012). It involves changing traditional schooling methods and organization by taking advantage of new technologies.

As CENSECFOR pursues modernized learning solutions, the use of digital or film-based video and photography recording, and playback may be employed to increase student proficiency and aid in rapid feedback. Possible uses of these videos/photos include the following:

- In laboratory environment, these video/photos and associated systems may be used by the instructor to conduct timely and detailed feedback on student performance.

- Videos/photos may be archived and used as instructional tools to show both positive and negative scenarios and behaviors while in laboratories.

- Scripted and unscripted videos could be used as model maneuvers and actions to be used for future laboratory evolutions as well as possible Computer-Based Training

(CBT) or other educational material.

- Promote CENSECFOR training and recruiting for Instructors within the Navy.

- Videos/photos may be used for other promotional activities such as:

* Promotional purposes for Fleet use

* Sharing with external entities in the public domain

* Course overview

* Navy social media content

- As CENSECFOR moves toward blended VR/AR approach, these videos/photos may be used to assist in the generation and production of advanced training aides. -

Administrative uses, such as historic reporting and record keeping, may be performed with these videos/photos.

Only CENSECFOR authorized video/photo equipment shall be used and only when authorized by Learning Activity Leadership. Instructors and students are not authorized to take video/photos on their personal devices, even in support of training delivery.

All digital or film based videos and photographs are subject to reuse in U.S. Navy products for public release.

Note: Contractor will not be required to supply any recording equipment, but merely allow their instructors to participate in the recording of video or filming of CENSECFOR students in training. Contractor will not be compensated if involved in video since any filming conducted during training evolutions will be considered within scope of this PWS. If utilized, all recording equipment used will be considered Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), and local

Government authorities shall be responsible for check in / out procedures.

Release of videos and/or photographs shall not be made without CENSECFOR Curriculum

Control Authority (CCA) approval.

Section 3-1.2 Training Schedules

Training shall normally be conducted eight hours a day (early morning, evening, or night shift), five (5) days a week for the length of the course. However, the daily activity may extend up to twelve (12) hours if required to meet all training objectives outlined in the curriculum. Student remediation may be required and shall, when necessary, be considered beyond the normal eight (8) hour training time for each class. During the execution of the class schedule where holidays or other events impact the expeditious movement of students through the training pipeline, the NTTC Lackland CO may extend the number of daily training hours to compensate for the loss of training time due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstance.

Additionally, in rare circumstances, working on weekends/holidays may be necessary in order to complete the required training in the allotted time. Personnel hours per week will be managed to preclude any overtime.

Section 3-1.3 Changes to Curriculum

Only training materials and lesson plans developed and promulgated by CENSECFOR N7 will be used in training delivery. It is recognized that certain portions of the course may become outdated based on a number of external factors. The contract instructors are encouraged to identify and submit recommended changes to the course curriculum to the Course Supervisor.

However, the content of the instructional material will not be modified until formally changed by

CENSECFOR N7.

Additionally, during periodic course reviews, instructors may be tasked to aid in the development of new course material. Instructor change recommendations shall be at no additional cost to the

Government and shall become the property of the Government. All revisions or changes to training materials and lesson plans are made by CENSECFOR N7 via the CCMM to Learning

Activity leadership for execution.

Section 3-1.4 Academic Standards

All instructors shall adhere to and maintain academic standards (e.g., course grading criteria) in accordance with assessment standards for the course. Academic standards for each course can be found in the testing Section of the course curriculum. If the student(s) have academic problems, the instructor shall inform the Course Supervisor and provide remediation to improve their course performance. Whenever possible without adverse impact to the course schedule, remediation shall be accomplished during normal training hours.

Section 3-1.5 Navy Academic Review Board (ARB) Procedures

In cases where a student's performance does not improve with remediation, a Navy Academic

Review Board (ARB) may be convened by the appropriate Government authority. The board evaluates a student’s progress and recommends a course of action when the student has failed to achieve learning objectives. In the event a student undergoes the ARB procedures, contract instructors may be required to provide student performance information. Academic Review

Boards are discussed in NAVEDTRA M-142.4 (Phase IV Course Fielding Testing Manual), CENSECFORINST 1540.1(Training Policy and Guidance), and NETCINST 1500.13 (High-Risk or Moderate-Risk Training Safety Program) for high-risk training pipelines.

Section 3-1.6 Training Decorum and Order

Contract instructors shall have the authority and are empowered to maintain their classrooms, ranges, and laboratory training areas in an orderly and professional atmosphere. They are responsible for ensuring students follow all policies, instructions and procedures governing training. Contract instructors are not empowered to physically discipline a student or take physical action of a punitive nature.

Section 3-1.6.1 Complaints against Students

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional and military manner. Students who fail to conduct themselves with the proper decorum shall be cautioned by the contract instructor, and then referred to the Course Supervisor, as required. If the inappropriate conduct continues, the student shall be referred by the Course Supervisor to the NTTC Lackland CO.

This does not preclude immediate referral if, in the opinion of the instructor, the misconduct is of such severity as to warrant such action. In the event of any formal military action against students under their tutelage, contract instructors shall be requested to provide written statements to, or appear in person, at Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) or Courts-Martial proceedings. Providing written statements and appearing in person at Non-Judicial Punishment or Courts-Martial proceedings for student classroom misconduct arising under this contract shall be deemed part of the instructor's contractual duties and shall not be a basis for a claim for additional payment under this contract.

Section 3-1.6.2 Complaints by Contract Instructors against

Military Staff

Contract instructors shall report any threats to the training environment, good order, and discipline (e.g., fraternization, sexual harassment, discrimination, etc.) between contract employees and military staff to their Contract Site Lead, and/or the NTTC Director of Training and NTTC Lackland CO, who shall notify the CENSECFOR COR immediately of the problem.

Upon notification to the CENSECFOR COR that a complaint has been received, the NTTC

Lackland CO shall investigate the validity of the complaint with the cooperation of the Contract

Site Lead. The NTTC Lackland CO will provide the results of the investigation to the PCO, CENSECFOR COR, Contract Program Manager and the Contract Site Lead, and any other personnel as deemed appropriate not later than 10 days after the complaint was submitted.

If the complaint is determined valid, the NTTC Lackland CO shall be responsible for initiation of the proper course of action. Contract personnel may be requested to provide written statements to, or appear in person, at NJP or Courts-Martial proceedings as a witness. Such statements or appearances may be directly related to charges or may provide information for use in determining appropriate punishment. Providing written statements and appearing in person at

NJP or Courts-Martial proceedings shall be deemed part of the instructor's contractual duties and shall not be a basis for a claim for additional payment under this contract.

Section 3-1.6.3 Complaints against Contractor Personnel

If a complaint is made regarding the conduct of contractor personnel, the NTTC Lackland CO shall immediately notify the CENSECFOR COR and Contract Site Lead. The COR will notify the

Contract Vendor Program Manager. Depending upon the severity of the offense, the Lackland

CO may request the removal of the contract instructor(s) named in the complaint from instructor duty while the complaint is investigated. Should the Contractor elect not to remove the contract instructor, he shall notify the NTTC Lackland CO and COR in writing of the rationale for not removing the instructor. In situations in which student or staff safety is threatened, the

Government is empowered to immediately take appropriate steps to mitigate the situation, to include relieving contract instructors of instructor duty.

Upon completion of the investigation, the NTTC Lackland CO shall provide results to the PCO, CENSECFOR COR, and Contract Program Manager (and/or Contract Site Lead). If the results of the investigation prove the complaint to be valid, the Contract Program Manager shall have a maximum of three (3) working days to propose a corrective plan for resolving the matter. This plan shall be submitted to the PCO, with copies to the CENSECFOR COR and Lackland CO. If the Government deems the corrective plan insufficient for resolution of the problem, a written response to the Contractor Program Manager shall be provided within three (3) working days.

Section 3-1.6.4 Contract Instructor Conduct

Contract instructor personnel shall exhibit proper behavior both inside and outside the learning environment. Civil misdemeanor or criminal charges, regardless of conviction or not, may result in removal from instructor duties. Failure to comply with the terms of the contract, DOD and/or

Navy policy may result in removal from instructor duties.

Section 3-1.7 Instructor Management

The contractor shall provide a list of contractor personnel to the COR, TA, CCMM, CS, and the

NTTC Director of Training at the start date of contract performance, thereafter as any changes occur, and in accordance with the Monthly Status Report requirements in Section 11-2 of this

PWS. Contracted instructors shall not be dismissed or removed when they have a class in session, except for cause under Sections 3-1.6.3 or instructor requirements under Section 4.

Section 3-1.7.1 Instructor Replacement

In the event that contractor instructor personnel are temporarily or permanently unavailable for more than four (4) days for any reason other than Paid Time Off or short duration Leave without

Pay, the contractor shall be required to identify a replacement instructor that meets the instructor qualification requirements contained in Sections 4 and 5 of this PWS. The contractor shall provide a detailed replacement plan to the CENSECFOR COR within 72 hours of instructor departure and the identified replacement instructor shall start performance within ten

(10) working days. Any such replacement shall occur without interrupting the class schedule, without additional expense to the Government, and within ten (10) working days of the unavailability of the instructor. The contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any

Government issued identification cards from the former employee and to turn over those items to the designated TA immediately upon termination of employment.

If the amount or duration of the loss of contractor Instructor(s) is deemed to be detrimental to the delivery of the COI, the Government may take such action as to document substandard performance in a Contractor’s Deficiency Report (CDR), reject contractor invoices for services due to the contractor’s failure to deliver services as stated and quantified in the PWS, and/or cancel the contract at the Government’s convenience.

Section 3-2 Student Supervision

Contract Instructors shall be present during all activities or evolutions in which students are participating related to the Enabling or Terminal Objectives of the curriculum to provide appropriate instructional supervision, oversight, and subject matter expert (SME) support.

Section 3-3 Classroom / Training Delivery Preparation

Contract instructors shall assist in classroom and laboratory preparation, including ranges and remote training sites, student administration, test proctoring, training equipment and gear issue, and safety procedures to avoid interruptions in the training day. Instructors shall promote a safe and secure environment conducive to learning for courses supported under this contract.

Section 3-4 Course Description
