Organization makes the learning process enjoyable for all.
If performance objectives are the benchmarks, lesson plans are the framework on which to place them. Instructors too often get diverted to favorite topics, run out of time to actually provide all the necessary training, or present information in such a disorganized fashion that students cannot connect the material or relate it to their roles. A proven method of lesson plan design aids the instructors in the development and delivery of their topic as well as insure the presentation matures logically over time. It is the lesson plan which goes to court when failure to train or failure to train adequately is at issue. Encourage questions at the beginning to avoid later misunderstandings.
