FY 2017, ID’s involved in 19 redesigns supporting USAICoE soldiersCommon trends observed
Not enough time to train all critical tasksSoldiers come to class with varying levels of experience/knowledgeNot enough instructors to train soldiers

35F (Intelligence Analyst) Skill level 10Course is 83 days in length11 Individual Critical Tasks to be trained and assessed.Majority of soldiers come to course from basic training and have no college credits35F is responsible for delivering accurate and timely intelligence to the commander.Redesign completed in nine months

Critical Task Analysis
21-Mar-18 7Learning Innovation Office 2520 Healy Avenue, Building 51005, Fort Huachuca, Arizona 85613-7017, (520)538-1147
Detailed analysis of the critical taskUtilize questioning techniques when working with SME:
What aspect of the task is most challenging for the soldier?How long does it take to train the task?How do you know the soldier understands the task?How is the task taught in the classroom?How is task performed in a deployment and/or at a unit?What way do you think is the best way to train the task?

The critical task isn’t written for the classroom environment.Our learning objectives:
Provide the basics for instructional strategy decisionsEstablish clear, concise learner goalsDetermine content of instructionServe as basis for learner assessment

Start with an engaging motivatorRelevantAffective domainRelatable
Learning objectives broken down into learning step activities (LSA)LSAs are scaffolded to build soldier up to mastery of learning objectiveLSAs are paired with learner-centric methods of instruction (MOI)
Little to no reliance on lecture, PowerPoint slidesSoldiers think critically and creatively to solve problems.Soldiers are often placed in small, cooperative learning groupsIncorporated processing strategies
Practice, group assessments woven throughoutIndividual assessments at end of learning objective to measure student comprehension

End-state:ID + SME = Educationally sound products
Current state: SME availability limited Deliverables/products for course redesign (Course Flow,
TLO/ELOs, Assessment Strategies, Lesson Plan Blueprint) on a tight schedule per project charter
SME’s knowledge of the science of learning and effective facilitation varied
Gap: Need to professionalize the SMEs

Change Management = Just-in-Time Training (JITT)
Conducted over 70 JITTs for 350+ attendees from November 2016 through June 2017 on these topics: Course Flow – Spiraling of curriculum, chunking content,
higher-order thinking skills w/multiple opportunities to engage in collaborative learning, placeholders for assessments.
Learning Objectives - TRADOC guidance from TP 350-70-1 and TP 3550-70-14 combined with Bloom’s Taxonomy and Critical Task List (CTL)
Assessments - TRADOC guidance from TP 350-70-5, alignment of assessments w/objectives and instruction, formative vs summative assessment, performance-based vs knowledge-based options, and scaffolding.

Conducted over 70 JITTs for 350+ attendees from November 2016 through June 2017 on these topics: Rubrics – Performance descriptors, criteria, scoring strategies
LP Blueprint – TRADOC guidance from TP 350-70-14 on Methods of Instruction, student engagement, modeling a learner-centric approach, and considerations for 7.2 hr training day instructional flow; how to move away from the lecture and .ppt!
LP Development – Two parts; LP development and LP implementation. Created and disseminated Instructional Job Aid.

Professionalize the SME
JITT results
Qualitative survey data from JITT participants overwhelmingly positive
Instructional Designers’ work sessions w/SMEs post-JITTs more efficient and effective
Hard to measure how JITTs impacted deliverables (LIB’s involvement w/implementation limited)
JITTs recognized by TRADOC Accreditation Team (inspection in September 2017) as best practice
ACT on the GAP!
