10 minutes Break

b. Concrete Experience (10 minutes): LSA 1

Slide 1, Concrete Experience

Facilitator Note: Divide the class into two groups and provide a butcher block or

white board. One group focuses on attributes and the other,

competencies. Tell the first group to identify attributes of

character, presence, and intellect and the second group to

identify competencies of leads, develops, and achieves.

c. Publish and Process (05 minutes): LSA 2

Facilitator Note: Ask the following questions (or substitute your own).

What did you think about this activity?

Where does the information on the slide come from? (ADRP 6-22, Army Leadership, Figure 1-1, The

Army Leadership Requirements Model)

How does your Army educational experiences impact your pre-conceived ideas about the Army

Leadership Requirements Model?

d. Generalize New Information (30 minutes): LSA 3

Facilitator Note: Transition to GNI discussion.

Slide 2, Course Overview

Facilitator Note:

Welcome to the Senior Leader Course-Leader Core

Competencies (SLC-LCC) This lesson is designed to give

you an overview of the course and its requirements. Just as

importantly, we will spend some time getting to know each

other and exploring classroom expectations.

Slide 3 Lesson Scope

Facilitator Note:

Summarize by stating that this scope encompasses the entire

course outcome.

Slide 5, Peer Introductions

Facilitator Note:

Pass out a Peer Interview Sheet (H-1) to each learner.

Divide the class into partners. Have the partners interview

each other. This should take 5 minutes. The partners will

now introduce each other to the remainder of the class.

This should take 15 minutes.

Facilitator Note: Students should ask each other the questions and write down the answer given by their partner;

they should not merely write down the answers about themselves and give their answers to their partners. Once the

interviews are complete, go around the room having each student introduce their partner to the rest of the class

followed by the facilitators.

Slide 6, Classroom Expectations (D0)

Facilitator Note:

Discuss the expectations, making the point that this is not

an all-inclusive list, however, it is what each individual

should expect of themselves and their peers at a minimum.

Slide 7, Classroom Expectations (Do Not)

Facilitator Note:

Discuss the expectations, making the point that this is not

an all-inclusive list, however, it is what each individual

should expect of themselves and their peers at a minimum.

Facilitator Note: Before showing the next slide, ask learners if they know what constitutes plagiarism.

Slide 8 , Plagiarism

Page 8: Admin-1 · Admin-1 Lesson Plan Administration Information Course Senior Leader Course-Leader Core Competencies (SLC-LLC) Clearance Access Security Level: Unclassified Requirements:

LP-6

Facilitator Note:

Facilitator Note: Use the following notes to address slide 13 (Plagiarism):

There are some actions that can almost unquestionably be labeled plagiarism. Some of these include buying,

stealing, or borrowing a paper (including, of course, copying an entire paper or article from the Web); hiring

someone to write your paper for you; and copying large sections of text from a source without quotation marks or

proper citation.

But then there are actions that are usually in more of a gray area. Some of these include using the words of a source

too closely when paraphrasing (where quotation marks should have been used) or building on someone's ideas

without citing their spoken or written work. Sometimes teachers suspecting students of plagiarism will consider the

students' intent, and whether it appeared the student was deliberately trying to make ideas of others appear to be his

or her own.

The key to avoiding plagiarism is to make sure you give credit where it is due. This may be credit for something

somebody said, wrote, emailed, drew, or implied. Many professional organizations, including the Modern Language

Association (MLA) and the American Psychological Association (APA), have lengthy guidelines for citing sources.

However, students are often so busy trying to learn the rules of MLA format and style or APA format and style that

they sometimes forget exactly what needs to be credited.

Bottom line, document any words, ideas, or other productions that originate somewhere outside of you.

Slide 15 , ELM

Facilitator Note: This Slide depicts a diagram of the ELM. Explain that this

is how new PME courses are structured, Leader Core

Competencies classes will follow this pattern.

Facilitator Note: Hopefully, the Senior Leader Course will not only present new material to you, it will familiarize

you with a new learning strategy. This course uses the Experiential Learning Model, or ELM, which is designed

specifically for adult learners. ELM consists of 5 steps: the Concrete Experience (CE), which is designed to get

students thinking creatively about the lesson topic (in this lesson, the group activity on attributes and competencies

was the CE); Publish and Process (P&P), which takes time to share student reflections about the CE; Generalize

New Information (GNI), during which the Facilitator facilitates discussion regarding new information; Develop is

the step where the class contemplates how they will use the information in the future; and finally, the Apply step is

where students actually put the information to use through PEs, briefings, papers, or other assessments.

Slide 16 , Apps

Facilitator Note:

Tell learners that in their folder for S300 they will find the

next two slide to helping them in setting up these Apps in

their mobile devices for easy access to doctrinal

information.

Slide 18, Questions

Facilitator Note:

Read the paragraph below and ask for questions.

e. Develop (05 minutes): LSA 4

Facilitator Note: Ask the following questions.

Do you think this course is going to help you in developing the Attributes and Competencies as outlined

in the Army Leadership Requirements Model?

What are you most interested in learning about?

What are some of your concerns?

How will you use this information in the course?

f. Apply (05 minutes): LSA 5

This is the “check on learning.” Take a few minutes to determine if the learners understand the course

learning outcomes.

8. ASSESSMENT:

Refer to S300 Advance Sheet for information on all course assessments.
