If you wanted to know how to start improving the quality of training creation in your agency or academy, this is the course that gives you that. It is the first step to improving training creation, aligning your training creation with learning science and instructional design methodologies, and setting standards in your training unit or with your training personnel.

Who should take this class:

1. those who have taken an instructor course and have had a little bit of course creating content from that course and found it inadequate,
2. instructors currently creating training and feeling that there has got to be a better way but don’t believe they are ready for advanced instructional design concepts,
3. instructors who want to create evidence and process-based training that satisfies most POST or agency requirements, that also aligns with instructional design science, processes, and methodologies.

After an evaluation of instructor basic courses from across the country, there is a common thread of gaps, missing processes, and plain misinformation in all of them. Most instructor basic courses focus more on public speaking and learning theory with very little covered on actually creating training.

This course fills the gaps, provides the fundamental processes, and corrects a lot of misinformation about how to create training for law enforcement and puts you on the path of creating training that actually aligns with instructional design research, processes, and methodologies.

While you will be in class for three days, you will have until June 30th to complete the course – learning and practicing don’t only happen in the classroom. You will have opportunities for one-on-one consulting as you build your course and will submit your materials as your final assessment.

We will cover:

• Using ADDIE with processes that meets most state Minimum Acceptable Product guidelines but improves training to learning standards and science
• Setting your course up for meaningful evaluation
• Writing objectives that actually measure performance
• Bloom’s Taxonomy the way it was meant to be used, to include the missing domains
• Creating course materials that support consistency, continuity and real accountability
• Designing and writing scenarios that measure performance instead of results
• Creating reliable, valid, and sound assessments that measure more than “Remembering.”
• Writing End of Course Surveys that provide actionable results.
• And a lot more!

This course is a lot of in-class work with some homework. You will receive the book “Fundamentals of Creating Training for Law Enforcement” and digital documents and templates to complete the course.

Materials

All participants will receive a copy of the book Fundamentals of Creating Training for Law Enforcement, templates, and examples to assist in the development of all work discussed in class. Participants need to have access to a computer loaded with Microsoft Office or Adobe products. Each participant should have a training topic ready to develop. This topic should be something the individual has some degree of expertise in, but not something already developed or created.
