New Officer, New Approach

SESSION INFO

Sunday, June 30, 2024
2:45 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop

Traditionally, basic law enforcement academies were set up as lecture-style classrooms. An instructor would tell recruits information, recruits would re-read the same information, and then the recruits would have to pass an assessment in order to graduate. At DPSST in Oregon, we have taken on a flipped instructional model. Flipped model? What does that mean? In a nutshell, we are giving the recruits the capacity to improve their problem-solving skills and hone in their critical thinking skills and it all starts in the classroom. Join me as I explore this method of instruction with you. As well as, discussing the accomplishments and challenges we faced.
