Description: The Instructor Training Course (ITC) serves to develop curriculum development and presentation skills. The course will cover various topics such as; Adult learning, Classroom Management, Presentation Skills and Lesson Plan Development. During the program the student will be required to develop and present an original lesson plan in front a body of their peers and under the scrutiny of seasoned Instructors.

Authority: This program is conducted by the Training Section of the Georgia Department of Corrections under delegated authority from the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council (GPOSTC) This course satisfies GPOSTC rules 464-6-.03-- General Instructor Certification, 464-6-.04-- Competency Requirements for General Instructor Certification.

Selection Criterion:

1. Public Safety Personnel

Our mission is to service public safety agencies in the State of Georgia. Since the P.O.S.T. Instructor Training Course is conducted under the supervision and authority of the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council (GA P.O.S.T. Council), first priority is given to state and local law enforcement officers…i.e. Sheriff’s personnel, Police officers, Correctional Staff, etc. However, we attempt to accommodate others such as Fire personnel when space is available.

2. Class Load Requirements

The GA P.O.S.T. Council has established course attendance maximums and minimums for most courses held at The Training Center. For the Instructor Training Course, the maximum is 16 and the minimum is set at 13. With only 16 available slots we strive to select the attendees who are in the most need from the numerous agencies.

3. Departmental/Academy Need

Another criterion we use to select attendees is based on the needs of our user agencies and our academies. An agency with no training officers will have a higher priority than those that already have several in house. Furthermore, persons assigned to academy positions or who will be used to augment academy positions will be given a higher priority due to the fact that instructor certification is a job requirement.

4. Prerequisites

Like other programs, the Instructor Training Course has established prerequisites for selection of attendees such as;

Years of service:

Preference will be given to staff that have a minimum of 2 years of service before being selected for the course. The most desirable candidate will be personnel with more than 5 years of active experience, and those who display above average skills set in the area of training…i.e Field Training Officers, Supervisors or others tasked with the responsibility to conduct training.

Work Samples (letter from student):

The applicant must submit a letter of intent along with their Student Authorization Form. This letter should be a well written and detailed writing that: Chronicles the applicant’s work experience, explains their desire to use the training, and offers how they will impact public safety in a positive way once they are certified.

Letter(s) of Recommendation:

Before being selected each applicant must submit letters from their agency head, or their designee; and/or from the Regional Academy Manager in their area (if applicable) that demonstrates support for the applicant to attend the 80 hour course and complete the subsequent requirements (refer to requirements at: http://www.gapost..org/6instcrt.htm) to achieve certification as a General Instructor.

Independent Study Items:

Prior to the course beginning, the applicant may be required to conduct exercises/experiments or complete tutorial programs that will aid them during their attendance in a training program. The GA P.O.S.T. Instructor Training Course requires that each applicant conduct an informal assessment of their agencies training needs and conduct preliminary research in the topical area that they have identified as being a current agency need.

5. Number of Attempts:

An applicant that is attempting to take the training for the first time will take precedence over those who have made previous unsuccessful attempts. Currently, unsuccessful students are required to satisfy a 6 month waiting period before they are allowed another attempt.

6. Must be in Good Standing:

No applicant will be selected if they are currently under disciplinary review or under sanction by the GA P.O.S.T. Council or any other applicable sanctioning/certifying body.

7. Directorial Override:

If they see fit, the Director, Deputy Director of Training or their designee may override an established criterion and accept an applicant--with the proper documentation and notification.

Cancelations:

Any cancellations must occur 7 days or more from the start date of the course in order not to be considered a “no-show”. A no-show is a student that has been accepted to a class, does not notify the instructors of a cancellation or substitution, and does not attend the class.

Substitutions:

If the need arises to substitute one student for another, the substitute must have met all the prerequisites that were required of the initial student. Due to the nature of the program, the Instructor Training Course has a No WALK-IN Policy. All attendees must have prior approval before being enrolled.

Terminal Objective:When called upon to perform a presentation, the General Instructor will implement techniques and demonstrate skills that will facilitate on-the-job behavioral change, in accordance with GPOSTC rules and Industry Standards.

HANDCUFFS WITH APPROPRIATE KEYS are allowed for demonstration purposes only and will only be used in the presence of an approved instructor.

DEFENSIVE TACTICS moves belong in the gym under the supervision of a DT instructor. No sophisticated high risk moves in the classroom. Please consult with an instructor as to what is appropriate.

resources, and other training aids shall be used only in the manner dictated by either rule or direction of the training instructors.

I understand that items that are strictly used for tests, test questions, performance evaluations, or other measurements of academic or physical performance are the property of the training academy. This property shall be protected, and I shall resist any temptation to use these items in an unauthorized manner, such as theft or cheating, which could cause a question of the integrity of me or the instructional staff.

My self-respect will be exhibited in my appearance in uniform, business attire, or field training attire. Respect and care for any equipment and property used during the course of my training and instruction will be my responsibility.

Pre-course Work:

To give you a head start on the work, prior to the first day of class, you must:

1. Identify your topic. This topic must be relevant to public safety and a subject that the instructor is both authorized and comfortable in delivering. No permission will be given to deliver topics that are either too rudimentary (i.e., ABC’s of fire extinguishers) or something that requires a specialized instructor’s certification (i.e., RADAR Certification, Firearms, Defensive Tactics, etc..);

2. Narrow your subject down to a manageable level by identifying the particular goals and objectives which you believe can be covered in a 50-minute time span;

3. Identify sources of information such as books, articles, handouts, training aids, etc. which you can bring with you for researching your topic while here at the Training Center;

4. Get yourself in the frame of mind to work long and hard. This class is not meant to be a vacation from your regular job. The break between weeks one and two must be spent writing a major portion of your lesson plan. If you do not have the time to devote or you have difficulty writing narrative compositions, this course may not be the kind of program you want to tackle.
