Course Description and Downloads
Course Description
Unlike other USPS courses, the Instructor Development course is not designed to enhance boating skills. Rather, its emphasis is on enhancing presentation techniques and instructor skills. The course has been designed to demonstrate interactive teaching methods focused on adult learning. Students are required to prepare lesson plans and give three presentations to their peers utilizing a variety of teaching aids and presentation skills. The instructor may assign a topic for these presentations or you may use material and PowerPoint slides from existing USPS courses, and they may build on one another.
Note that ALL materials for the Instructor Development 2013 course MUST be downloaded from the Educational Department web site. No Instructor Development 2013 materials are available from the Materials catalog. Also note that to process the required one hour lesson plan to complete ID 2013, an "exam" order for ID 2013 must be processed using the regular on-line ED-33 exam ordering process; no "exams" or other paperwork will be sent to the squadron however.
Downloads
Files are downloaded as one compressed file, which you should then expand (unzip) into multiple files on your computer. Use your browser's "save as" function (usually the right mouse button) to name and save (with a .zip extension) the zipped file on your computer. You must rename the file name extension to .zip before you unzip it so that your computer knows how to handle this type of file. You will need Adobe Reader or Acrobat to read and print the individual SM and IM chapter files after you have unzipped the .zip file. You may also need the latest Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer to view and print the PowerPoint slides in the Presentation files. See the Educational Department Help page to obtain a free viewer for these slides. If you would like to modify any of the slides to customize your presentation you will need the full MS PowerPoint program.
