It is not enough to just decide on what a group needs to learn, pull the information together, and call it a training program. You are dispensing much more than simple information. The program should be set up such that people's interest is maintained, they receive relevant information and in the right order. The needs assessment report leads directly into developing specific lesson plans. A lesson plan guides your organization of the lesson. It includes your materials, content, segment-by-segment timing, methods, questions and notes. It will ensure you move smoothly from start to finish.
