In the Classroom |

State-of-the-Art Instruction In JROTC classes, cadets are taught and tested with the newest and best techniques available. Using the Cadet Command curriculum, cadets learn by using the tested Four-Phase Lesson Plan. In addition, all tests and quizes are administered by using the computer program eInstruction. This system is a database of tests and the cadets' grades. Each question of the tests is projected onto a screen in the classroom and the students select what they feel is the correct answer with their remote controls. Not only is it a better assessment tool; it is efficient because the computer instantly grades each test after the class answers the last question and therefore eliminates the chance for human error. |
