Instructor Resources

Teaching a lesson this training year and not sure where to get your information. It's all on your CADET365.

On your Cadet365, we have something called Sharepoint. It is where cadets teaching can find the Instructional Guides and Qualification Standard Plan for all levels. As well cadets can find sample powerpoints and lesson plans to help with their teaching. If the cadet do not know how to use Cadet365 they can kindly ask their peers or the officers for assistance.

Lesson Plan Template

All lessons shall be taught with the instructor creating a lesson plan. The primary purpose of creating a lesson plan is to familiarize yourself with the content, and to create a teaching strategy.

Tips:

Do not reinvent the wheel. Use the content and activities from the IG to develop the lesson plan.

There are two main columns for each teaching point. Put the info that you need to pass in the left, and in the right column ("Action"), write HOW you will teach that info. Explaining how you will deliver the content is more important than writing the content of the lesson.

Professional development

Managing a classroom full of cadets can seem daunting, especially in trying to balance keeping a positive vibe and keeping the cadets on topic. It's not that hard though if you follow a few very quick and simple tips.

Start by setting clear expectations, up-front and during each class. Use flip chart to write the FLOOR model and post it up.

The techniques in the yellow image all have one thing in common: you are the example. Manage issues in a way that you'd like to see your leader manage them.
