These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 62 topics.
You're handed a lesson plan you didn't write. The evaluator sits down in the back, and you have a few minutes to find the objectives, your instructor notes and where step 3 starts.
The manual covers the parts of a lesson plan in page after page of paragraphs. Twelve sections, all described in words, and none of them where you can actually see them.
In the book, the lesson plan is one sheet, drawn out: objectives on top, the four steps in the middle, and each of the 12 sections labeled right where it sits on the page.
Other topics get their own page the same way: the ABCD formula, timing the lesson, explain-show-do for a skill, live fire ratios and how to write a fair multiple-choice item.
You pick up any lesson plan and know where to look. You teach it in order, without flipping back to the manual.
The Instructor I job, how adults learn, learning objectives, the lesson plan, the four-step method, hands-on skills and training safety, testing and evaluation, and exam and teaching demo review: 66 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
It's your teaching demo. The evaluator hands you the lesson plan, starts the clock, and you have the time your state sets to get through all four steps.
In the book you open the four-step page and see Preparation → Presentation → Application → Evaluation on one line, with the check you make before you move to the next step.
Same with the ABCD formula, measurable verbs, explain-show-do, live fire ratios and multiple-choice items: each one on its own page.
Fire Instructor I Illustrated is 66 illustrated pages in 8 parts, one topic per page, and it ends with a full review for the written exam and the teaching demo.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
What Instructor I does and doesn't do, NFPA 1041 on one page, how a JPR is built, your state certification path, records and scheduling, legal and ethical duties.
Why adults learn differently, the laws of learning, the three domains, Bloom's levels in the firehouse, learning styles, motivation, students who struggle and managing behavior.
Goal vs. objective, the ABCD formula, measurable verbs only, writing the condition and the degree, terminal vs. enabling objectives, and a page of objectives to fix.
The anatomy of a lesson plan, reading one you didn't write, adapting it without rewriting, instructor notes, timing, training aids and setting up the classroom or apparatus bay.
The four steps at a glance, each step on its own page, lecture vs. discussion vs. demonstration, asking good questions, summary, getting back on plan and giving feedback.
Explain-show-do, breaking a skill into steps, instructor position and ratios, safety in the lesson plan, rehab and weather, NFPA 1403 basics, stopping an unsafe evolution and reporting injuries.
Validity and reliability, the anatomy of a multiple-choice item, other item types, oral tests, performance tests and skill sheets, fair administration, grading and post-test feedback.
The four steps on one page, key terms, the teaching demo before you walk in and what the evaluator watches, written exam strategy and a final ready checklist.
At the end of the book: A final review part: the four steps on one page, key terms, teaching demo prep and an exam-ready checklist.
Test yourself on objectives, lesson plans, the four-step method and test writing, and see why each answer is right before the written exam.
See the mistakes that most often trip up new instructors, drawn wrong next to right, so you can review them in one sitting before your teaching demonstration.
