TARGET 51 - THE STANDARDS CHECK

A Professional Development Aid for Driver and Rider Trainers by Steve Garrod & John Wells
Published By Theory First::

INSIGHT: Lesson Planning; Risk Management; Teaching and Learning Strategies;

At the time of completing this manual the Standards Check had been a reality for about a year. Leading up to the introduction of the new test there was considerable ‘hype’ in the instructor community about it and much concern amongst instructors about how different their teaching would need to be. ‘Volumes’ were written (and sold!) without the benefit of meaningful results to refer to.This manual isn’t intended to be yet another textbook on the theory of teaching techniques that you read from cover to cover. Rather, the content is broken down into manageable units that the trainer can dip into when time permits.

The book covers:

THE BASICS: What’s New in the Standards Check; Achieving the Grade; Lesson Logistics; Preparation

INSIGHT: Lesson Planning; Risk Management; Teaching and Learning Strategies;

SUPPLEMENTARY: Form SC1; Use of Question and Answer Technique; Giving Directions & Instructions; Giving Feedback; Learning Domains and Learning Styles

Uniquely, through a series of worked examples and exercises readers are encouraged to review their own teaching and learning styles and identify for themselves targets for further professional development. Written in an ‘easy to read style’ with humorous anecdotes and illustrations to get the message across. This title and others in the series have a facebook page Target 51 where additional support and discussion material can be found.
