Use effective systems for gaining attention and clarifying expectations without unnecessary and time-consuming direction and explanation.
Example #1: Show an instructions slide on a screen in a lecture classroom that prompts learners to begin work on a warm-up problem while they are taking their seats.
Example #2: On a staff ride, gather the whole class into large-group sessions in the field before breaking into small groups for discussion. Then reform occasionally as a large group by alerting the group to established times and locations for large-group sessions.[Click here to download Learning in the Wildland Fire Service.]
