SHIFT SUPERVISOR INITIAL-TRAINING

LESSON SPECIFICATIONS

This appendix provides lesson specifications for the shift supervisor initial-training

program. These lesson specifications should be used in conjunction with the topical subjects

discussed in the Initial Training section of this guide to develop an initial-training program.

The learning objectives on which the training is based address higher-order knowledge and

abilities. Because of this, the training objectives should be modified to be consistent with

facility-specific philosophy and values.

These lesson specifications and the topics described in the Initial Training section

provide a framework with which the training department can use to enhance or develop

facility training materials. These lesson specifications is not intended to limit facility-specific

development of initial-training materials. Instead, the lesson specifications provide the

learning objectives and suggested activities on which to develop instructional materials and

evaluation methods. The suggested learning activities in the lesson specifications are one

method for presenting appropriate shift supervisor training and, as such, should be reviewed

and modified as needed to meet the needs of line management.

Learning activities for shift supervisors should maximize the experiential learning

process (i.e., active trainee participation and internalization) and minimize use of lectures.

The learning activities may be conducted and documented through the use of any or all of the

following:

Discussion outlines or checklists

Qualification guides

Simulator training

On-the-job interaction with appropriate persons in the nuclear organization

On-the-job as a shift supervisor under instruction

Role-plays

Case studies

Classroom presentations.

The learning objectives in each lesson specification have conditions for performance

(or are implied as being "from memory") and action statements. Learning objective

standards should be added or modified as needed to conform to the performance standards at

the facility and the level of performance expected from the trainee. Often, and especially for
