4.2.1 Develop Lesson Plan Format. The first step in lesson plan development is

the determination of format. Instructor and trainee activities should be planned

so they occur at the proper stages in the learning process. Once a standard

format has been established, it should be used for all lesson plans. This

standard format should be specified in the facility Training Management

Manual, discussed in Section 1.0 of this Handbook. See the forms "Sample

Lesson Plan Format--Classroom," "Sample Lesson Plan Format--OJT,"

"Sample Lesson Plan Format--Simulator" (Attachments 20 through 22,

respectively) for sample lesson plan formats. While the printed design or

format of a lesson plan may differ, the lesson plan should include the following:

Cover Page

Labeling Information

Course Title and Number - A title and a number unique

to that lesson plan

Lesson Title - A title descriptive of the content

Lesson Time - Approximate duration of the lesson
