WHY CHANGE Continuous Improvement
Foundation for Accreditation
4 Courses (LET Units) to support ALL new Program Outcomes (2013) every year
Courses support Leadership Effectiveness Training and NOT the current Unit Textbook
Supports a developmental learning approach
Necessary, new relevant content
Focus on core competencies and allows for time to enhance learning through flexibility – whether for time and/or additional lessons
CONSISTENT ‘CHAPTERS’ IN EACH LET UNIT
JROTC Foundations (LET Unit 1)
Leadership Development (LET Units 2, 3, 4 & electives)
Personal Growth (LET Units 1, 2, 3, 4 & electives)
Team Building - Drill (LET Units 1, 2, 3, 4 & electives)

CHAPTERS SUPPORT CADET DEVELOPMENT
Chapters group lessons based on level of learning
Chapters can be assessed with a project each year
Chapters assessments demonstrate evidence of learning – great for portfolios
Chapters can build a case for credit…i.e. Leadership Course, Health & Fitness Course, etc.

RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN CHANGESLET / Unit Structure
Support a progressive Year 1 – 4 or LET 1-4 curriculum structure
Lessons in Chapters can be grouped together to serve as one course. For example: Health & Fitness; Citizenship/Government; Leadership Development
Revise 74 Unit LET 1- 4 lessons
Revise outcomes for learning and assessment based on SME input
Develop new learning activities and materials to support revised outcomes
Revise all lesson materials including: SLP, LP, PAT, PPT, Clicker Questions
Create (or revise) electronic text versions for each lesson
Develop module assessment tasks as evidence of module mastery
RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY CHANGES• LET/Unit Structure
Suggested by SMEs Allow for development of courses by module name Unit texts do not support new program outcomes Can develop project-based assessments for module levels
to support evidence of mastery at each LET level CM V3 database
Correlate with new Unit-Chapter-Lesson structure New Lesson List Easy conversion if start with new CM V3 database Archive CM V2 database and add feature in Report
Manager to run reports on old database so no data loss.
CM V3 CURRICULUM STRUCTUREWhen the CM V1 was first developed it only had the 7 Units of the LET Curriculum (based on 2012 / 2015 Curriculum). The other curriculums were added in CM V2 (2011). There are now 4 “Curriculums” on the CM: ACT, SAT, CSA, and LET.
• Unit = LETs• Unit 1 = LET 1• Unit 2 = LET 2• Unit 3 = LET 3• Unit 4 = LET 4• Unit 5 = Electives
NEW PPT DESIGN LESSON TITLE SLIDE
• The top banner would be same color on ALL slides, only the Chapter Image on the top left would change
• There would be no footer area thus allowing more space on the slide for the content
NEW PPT DESIGN QUESTION SLIDE
• The 4-Phase Icon and Text would be consolidated and placed on the top right of the slide
