Learner Profile
Because of my position, many of the products I develop are aimed at training teachers
and students on use of a product or a process versus academic learning. Currently, my office
coordinates the Teacher Cadet Program throughout Horry and Georgetown counties plus
Florence District 5, partnering with seventeen high schools each year, offering nineteen sections
of the Teacher Cadet Course, which we give credit for at EDUC 101.
The target audience for this product is both the teachers of the course and the students
enrolled in the course. The teachers all have a minimum of a Master’s degree in education, and
all have taught at least fifteen years. The difference between them are the number of years they
have taught at their current school, ranging from two years to thirty years, and the number of
years they have taught the teacher cadet course, ranging from never to twenty years. Because of
their education experience and time spent teaching, there are reasonable expectations that the
teachers will know how to access the internet and perform basic functions on the internet, such
as finding the website and viewing videos and PowerPoint through the internet.
The students enrolled in the course are all either juniors or seniors and have at least a 3.0
GPA, but their backgrounds vary greatly. Students will primarily access this training in their
Teacher Cadet classroom, but some may access it at home after starting the training in their
classroom. All students state they have access to the internet in their homes and equipment to
Because some modules will be directed at the instructor while some will be directed at
the students, and different modules apply at different points in the semester, having smaller
Performance Objectives

The students must complete two processes in order to be enrolled in the course and for the
grade and credit to be reported to their chosen college. The desired outcomes for the students,
1. Students will complete the application process no later than the third day of the start of

Within the training, the participants will first enter the cognitive domain, by gaining the
needed knowledge, comprehending and then applying that knowledge. The affective domain is
addressed because the participants must respond to the information received, place value on the
task, because if they don’t complete the steps outlined, they won’t receive credit for the course,

and can organize and characterize this information into abstract knowledge that can be utilized in
their future college student or teaching career. Finally, participants achieve the psychomotor
domain because they go through the guided response of completing the paperwork or
application, but can adapt that information to future applications or grade entry. The knowledge
gained in this training can be applied to other situations where the participants have to complete
Lesson
The entire module will be entitled EDUC 101/Teacher Cadet Course Requirements. There
The instructors need to know all of the information in case the students in their class have
questions about the process and procedures. Therefore, it will be required for instructors to
complete every learning object. Students will need to know numbers three and six, so they will
only be required to complete those two learning objects. The entire module will be presented in a
linear fashion, since the requirements are ordered the way they need to be completed. However,
TEACHER CADET TRAINING 5
the students will have the ability to skip the learning objects they do not need to complete. The
goal will be to keep each learning object between two and five minutes long.
Learning Environment
This training will be delivered first to the instructors and secondly to the students. For the
instructors, the initial training will be delivered face-to-face, in a conference room with
appropriate technology. The conference table setting will work best for conversation and
interaction between the veteran instructors and the new instructors. The instructors will be
encouraged to follow along on the website, including taking the assessment quizzes in the
The students will receive this training in the classroom by myself or the teacher, or at
home in a self-paced mode. The student section is more individual based, but they typically have
questions because they may not have access to certain parental information. Therefore, it is best
for the parents to be at the home with them. Luckily, with technology today, students who are
completing the training and the application in the classroom can easily text their parents to
The full training will be available online for the instructors and student to view at any
point, as well as shortcuts to particular instructions that may be needed independent of other
parts of the lesson. The teacher portion will be delivered in-person, utilizing the instructional
videos along with real practice for the teachers utilizing their laptop computers. The students
enrolling in the course will be instructed in-person on the procedure for completing their
applications and where to find the instructions, but they will complete the applications on their
own time.

Continual Improvement
The purpose of this training is to educate the instructors as well as the students on the
processes, procedures, and tasks that must be completed so that students receive and transfer the
credit for the Teacher Cadet course to their post-secondary institution. After implementation of
this new training that is both in-person and online, I will review each learning object to ensure
timely completion, which translates into meeting the learning objectives of this training. If there

are more than three instances of untimely completion of any learning object, I will analyze the
results to see if there is an issue with a particular instructor or school or if that learning object
