__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Learning Environment __

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">The Learning Environment will consist of two blocks of instruction, each session not to exceed *2 hrs with a 15-20 minute break between each session. Each session will be Instructor led and consist of 15-20 learners. Two Instructional Assistants will be available to assist learners with questions and as additional Instructors once broken out into small group instruction.

**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Session 1 will f﻿ocus on Cluster 1 & 2. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Will be conducted in a the Multi-Purpose Room, equipped with long tables for Learners to sit in groups (i.e lunch tables) or in a computer lab (although learners will not require workstations for training purposes.)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Each learner will be given a TRP Manual, TRP Workbook and CPS remote for test data collection.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Each table (or group of Learners) will be equipped with a Network Data Card, a Network Data Cable, CPU, and a sample of the Network Drop Box for demonstration purposes.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Session 2 will be a "hands-on session" focusing on Cluster 3 - learners will be broken-out in groups of 5-7 with 1 Instructor per group.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Both sessions will be conducted in the learners assigned schools in accordance with the Technology available in their classrooms.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Preferably the Instructors and Instructional Assistances should be members of the IT Department.

**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Pre-﻿Instruction Activities **
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Motivation: __** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">To gain the attention of the learners and establish a bond, the Instructor can use personal experiences to include the frustration of accidently deleted a document, or how we all like to sneak a quick peek at unauthorized websites such as a popular stores sales flyers, or the NFL scores during lunch and the dissapointment when you receive an "unable to establish a connection error message". With this in mind, the instructor can elaborate on the benefits of being connected to the network (i.e able to retrieve accidently deleted documents) and solving their non-connectivity problems independently and in a timely manner so they can still get that "sneak peek" during their lunch period.


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Objectives: __** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">In accordance to the TRP Manual, Learners will be introduced to the benefits of the network and the hardware components required to ensure connectivity. To instruct the learners on troubleshooting techniques to resolve connectity issues without IT Dept support in a timely manner therefore reducing or minimizing the "gaps" associated with a classroom non-connectivity issues.
