Methodology
In summary, the course will be lecture-driven with reinforcement provided in the way of videos, pictures, after action reports, and live props in the classroom. These are small tabletop props that the method being demonstrated can be shown live. No excessive noise, tool striking, etc. will occur. The course will begin with numerous props (small, classroom-sized doors and locksets) in the front on a table or on the stage near the presenter. This will serve to engage the participants throughout the presentation. Tools will also be present. As the lecture begins, when a certain subject/ lockset/ door is presented in which a prop is present for, field videos will be shown and then either the presenter and/or a student will demonstrate live the method to drive it home. Door prizes, stickers, tools, etc. will be available for the participants. Likely the tool they use to demonstrate will be the tool they get to keep. They leave with a strong working knowledge of that tool and when and how to employ it. A model SOP is also provided for departments wishing to institute this program officially.
