NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

should ensure that all students are kept busy in the
learning environment.
Asked Thought-Provoking Questions. The instructor should
ask a variety of thought-provoking questions to the class
as a whole and to individual students when checking their
progress and understanding. Thought-provoking questions
should be used to make the students think about what they
have learned and/or to stimulate the students to think
independently. The instructor may also use thoughtprovoking
questions to get non-participating students
involved in the training period or to help students who are
experiencing difficulties.
Managed Time Effectively. The instructor should ensure
that students follow procedures and time limits. When
necessary, instructors should provide explanations/
clarifications/demonstrations of common problem areas to
the entire class rather than to the individual.
Instructors may also have students who complete their work
ahead of schedule provide assistance to others or work on
another assignment.
Safety Devices/Equipment were in Good Condition. Equipment
safety devices should be present and in good working
condition. Equipment guards and protective devices should
be properly adjusted.
Issued Tools and Materials Expeditiously. The instructor
should have tools and materials organized so that they can
be issued to the students promptly and efficiently. When
appropriate, the instructor should also have established
procedures for the students to receive tools and materials
without undue loss of valuable training time.
Monitored Students for Safety Practices. The instructors
will monitor students' performance to ensure compliance
with personnel and equipment safety procedures.
Assisted Students as Necessary. Instructors will provide
an environment for students to learn by doing. The
instructor will provide assistance when it is necessary or
as indicated by the grading criteria or when the lesson
plan and/or Administrator's Guide allows the instructor to
provide assistance. Depending on the type of training, the
instructor may use more capable or experienced students to
help other students. During the laboratory session the
instructor should not:
Demonstrate on a student's practice or test project or
provide assistance if the student can accomplish the
objective without assistance.
