Steps for the Training: (Include the amount of time for each step)
Enter the steps that are necessary to complete all of the trainings objectives. State what the
trainer does and what the trainees do. The steps should be more trainee-centered. The trainee
should do more than the trainer. Yes, the trainer may need to introduce a topic, but overall the
training should be more trainee-centered so that the trainee may learn the software more
efficiently. Also, you may want to include the different types of assessment approaches that will
be used: (e.g. writing samples, demonstrations, observations, surveys, interviews, projects,
rubrics, journals, quizzes, tests, etc.) during instruction and/or at various end-points in the
training.
