Methodology
This two-week course is composed of two modules. Module one is focused on CSELs roles and responsibilities using interactive lectures with illustrated examples in syndicate work using detailed and realistic NATO scenarios. Students in small groups are required to produce presentations to confirm the acquisition of knowledge as a part of formative student assessment.
Remarks: The POI Working Group recommends that syndicates may each develop or evaluate different types of PD programs; e.g.: annual, in-theatre, etc. This would serve the collateral benefit of being able to use CSELs’ expertise in developing generic programs for each of these types of PD programs.
Practical limitations: No resources or time allocated to actually conduct a PD session while on course (no actual subordinates; budget issues are briefed only; CSEL students will not have a budget to administer)
Content from this EO overlaps with EO 1.2. therefore, instructors must ensure overlap is complimentary versus repetitive.
