Bill, Add writing skills and experience to the instructor's qualifications. Proof of curriculum development stuff. Shoe

Shoe… Writting skills and curriculum development should be at a higher level in Instructor certification. I don't think every ACAD teacher should have to show that they can develop curriculum ? Roger C@V

Roger, If an instructor can't develop exercises, tests, problems, and course outlines, what are we to expect as qualifications? Shouldn't an instructor be required to read, write and spell properly? Shoe

Shoe… Well I was thinking along the lines of developing exercise materials. I don't think every intro level teacher should have to prove that the can develop exercise materials. After all ther are some marvelous books on the market filled with excercises (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). They should be able to create an outline (of course) and write up a test if necessary. But I wonder how many ATC Instructor's do this on a regular basis ? While I was teaching part-time I only prepared 2 exams over 4 years. Roger C@V
