The Development and Trial Evaluation of Alternate Programs for Unit Training Managers and Trainers. Appendix D. Directed Practice Program for the TO and E Unit Training Manager Course
Abstract
Personnel assigned as training managers in TO and E units seldom have opportunity to practice the performance of training management skills prior to assignment. Immediately upon assignment, they are expected to identify specific performance deficiencies, develop needed performance-based training programs, and maintain a high level of performance capability in the men in their unit. This program of instruction outlines a course that will help the new unit training manager acquire the skills he needs to perform his duties. The course is designed to provide the newly assigned manager with opportunity to practice the knowledge and skills he will need prior to the time he must employ performance-based practices in training and evaluating the men in his unit. Once the manager has completed this program, it is expected that he will be able to train other persons to perform the job of training manager, as well as the job of instructor/trainer. The following programs have been developed to help him do this: directed practice program for instructor/trainer; guided self-study program for instructor/trainer; directed practice program for training manager; and guided self-study program for training manager; These programs are easy to implement and will make only minimal demands upon his time. Meetings with his students will be minimal and depend largely on the wishes and needs of the participants.
