What is the primary role of a Level III Instructor when developing learning objectives?

The primary role of a Level III Instructor when developing learning objectives is to design a course. This involves creating clear, measurable learning objectives that align with the overall goals of the training program. A well-designed course begins with these objectives, as they provide direction for both the instructional content and the assessment methods.

By establishing specific learning objectives, the instructor ensures that all aspects of the course—the materials chosen, the teaching methods applied, and the assessments used—are purposefully aligned to facilitate student learning. This focus on course design also ensures that students understand what is expected of them and how they will be evaluated.

While implementing teaching strategies, assessing student performance, and evaluating classroom management are important aspects of an instructor's role, they typically follow after the initial course design and the setting of learning objectives. Effective implementation of teaching strategies and assessment plans must be grounded in the objectives established at the course development stage.
