Instructional planning and evaluation planning
What characteristics of your planning context and learner community are especially important to consider when designing your instructional plan? (e.g., size of participant group, existing knowledge/skills, instructor ability, nature of learning task, type of objectives, etc.) Explain briefly how these factors will affect your plan.
Explain why you chose the specific instructional approaches and activities for this program. Revisit relevant Lessons and associated readings such as Textbook Chapter 8).
How will you use the space (of your venue) available to you to support learning?
How would you build a positive learning climate (physically, psychologically, and emotionally)? How and why would you involve participants?
Do you have plan for effective transfer of learning? Read relevant Lesson and associated readings.
Describe the first 15 minutes of your program. What are you doing to start off positively?
What are the roles of both the instructor and participants within each aspect of the learning process? Does your instructional plan identify these roles?
Evaluation planning
What is the primary purpose of the evaluation you would conduct?
What components or aspects of the program do you plan to evaluate (program design, learner satisfaction, learning change, etc.) and why?
What is the difference between assumptive and formative evaluation and what does this mean for your program?
What specific “evaluation questions” do you seek to answer for each component? Are they related to your learning objectives?
What evidence will you collect to answer each evaluation question? Who should receive the resultants, why, and to what uses will they be put?
