Description:
Session 1 of this course is a new component comprised of an eight(8) hour session on Microsoft Word Daily Essentials. Things learned during the first session not only will be useful in putting together your portfolio for the course, but also throughout your instructional career. Session 2 & 3 is designed to provide the Fire Instructor with the next level of understanding for the training of personnel. This course is designed to train participants to perform job and task analysis, develop goals and objectives, and develop a lesson plan along with the coordinating of training aids and student test and evaluation.
Goals:
The purpose of this course is to prepare the candidate to achieve IFSAC Fire Service Instructor II certification. It is also designed to ready the candidate to oversee the training and education of fire service personnel.
Certification:
There will be an IFSAC examination provided on the last day of the class. There are three components to the certification. You must pass them all to be certified. The practical examination and portfolio portions must be passed with a score of 100%, a written score of 80% must be achieved to successfully achieve certification. You are required to develop an instructional plan and submit it in portfolio format. This is an individual project and all work must be original. A sample portfolio will be provided for you during the class.
Objectives:
After completion of the Fire Instructor II course, the candidate must be able to perform the following job performance requirements:
  • Coordinate training record keeping so that all agency and legal requirements are met.
  • Evaluate instructors so that the evaluation identifies areas of strengths and weaknesses, recommends changes in instructional style and communication methods, and provides opportunity for instructor feedback to the evaluator.
  • Create a lesson plan so that the job performance requirements for the topic are achieved, and the plan includes learning objectives, a lesson outline, course materials, instructional aids, and an evaluation plan.
  • Modify an existing lesson plan so that the job performance requirements for the topic are achieved, and the plan includes learning objectives, a lesson outline, course materials, instructional aids, and an evaluation plan.
  • Conduct a class using a lesson plan that the instructor has prepared and that involved the utilization of multiple teaching methods and techniques so that the lesson objectives are achieved.
  • Supervise other instructors and students during high hazard training so that applicable safety standards and practices are followed, and instructional goals are met.
  • Develop student evaluation instruments so that the evaluation instrument determines if the student has achieved the learning objectives, the instrument evaluates performance in an objective, reliable, and verifiable manner, and the evaluation instrument is bias-free to any audience or group.
  • Develop a class evaluation instrument so that students have the ability to provide feedback to the instructor or instructional methods, communication techniques, learning environment, course content, and student materials.
  • Analyze student evaluation instruments so that validity is determined and necessary changes are accomplished.
