Project+Outline

=SCENARIO =

The directors of an art museum, specializing in 19th and 20th century American painting, would like to institute a new, formal training program for their volunteers. The museum directors are planning to hire a curriculum design company to create this training program. The museum directors would like volunteers trained to perform the following tasks:


 * Leading tours of exhibits
 * Staffing the museum “information station” to answer visitors’ questions
 * Maintaining an Excel database of patron information
 * Calling and e-mailing patrons to raise funds

Based on this information, what would be the most effective way to design curriculum for this program? You and your group members, as “employees” of a curriculum design company, will propose your curriculum design ideas to the museum directors in a PowerPoint presentation.

=**OUTLINE**=

I. **Introduction (Ann)** The introduction will give a brief overview of the training proposal for the art museum, and will entice the museum directors to want to learn more about our proposal. I have also made a first draft of the power point template. Please review and give me your feedback. I'm not so sure about the colors, right now - Right now, I am more concerned about your thoughts on the format of the presentation. The style and colors can easily be changed later on. Please review using the slide show mode and use the hyperlinks (Bars on page 1 & arrows on all other pages) to navigate through the document.

II. Goals/Objectives III. Instructional Strategies and Activities IV. Assessments V. Program Evaluation

VI. **Conclusion (Ann)** The Conclusion should summarize the information presented in our project proposal and reiterate the value that this particular training approach and our design company will bring to the museum.

**Kyong's** **Learning Goals/Objective Outline**
a. Selecting appropriate learning methods to facilitate administration and leadership skills? b. Create list of instructions to direct volunteers in training
 * I. Deliver training instruction**

a. Selecting efficient strategies to acquire learning skill and knowledge b. How to utilize resources to support task completion
 * II. Facilitate learning task**

a. Assign specific job to demonstrate knowledge b. Performance exam for continuous learning
 * III. Implement learning skill**

I will be adjusting the outline for my component as I read ahead into week 2, which we learn further about learning goal and objective in Ch 5. If anyone has input or suggestion about my pre-outline, I appreciate and encourage your thoughts for improvement. Thanks

IV: **Program Evaluation (Trevor)**

 * I. Learner Reaction**
 * End of course evaluation:** What did student's think of the course? What could be done better? Did they feel the experience was a good one and that they are now more empowered/better informed?


 * II. Learning**
 * Cognitive exam:** could test musem volunteer's knowledge of things like subject matter concerning tour narration, familiarity with excel data base, and other pertinent customer service issues (multiple choice may be suitable).
 * Performance exam:** museum volunteers could walk adminstration through the system and give a rehearsal guided tour.


 * III. Job Behavior**
 * On the job observation:** this would require some time and observation to see if the course has changed the behavior of the museum volunteers on the job. That is, are they exhibiting the learning goals of the course in their on the job behavior?


 * IV. Company Performance**
 * Have the numbers changed?:** Are there any noticeable differences in company performance i.e. customer satisfaction, employee error? Has number of patrons increased or decreased since implementation of new training program? Is the new training program making a difference?

** Instructional Strategies and Activities – (Lita) **

**I.** **Direct instruction distinction** a) Matching instruction to the learner's interests, understanding, and developmental level, including hands-on and real activities b) Methods to stimulate creativity c) Instruction which is meaningful to students, focusing on depth of knowledge, real-world applications, and social interactions
 * 1) **Activating Prior Knowledge**

a) Connect to concepts about to be taught by using activities that relate to or determine the level of their existing knowledge. b) Thinking skills that involve summarizing and converting real-world events or ideas into learning.

I will be adding to this outline as the class progresses along. I welcome any and all feedback. Thanks
