C. Cautions for using templates

1. While templates can simplify the

development of learning objectives, we

need to recognize that most training

situations will also require the development

of some unique learning objectives.

2. Therefore, AVOID the assumption that your

template objectives are addressing all the

knowledge and skills the trainee needs to

do the job.

EXERCISE

Lead the class through the writing of a terminal

objective based on the TTTD content and using the

template method. Direct the participant's

attentention to content that would benefit from the

template method. DO NOT provide any of your own

input during this process (except guidance in using

templates), but write their results on a flipchart.

POINT OUT content to

the team.

ASK: How would you

apply the template

method with this content?
