The PIE '''method''' is the classic approach to designing course curriculum. Elements of these training sessions will provide students with skills to help plan, implement, and evaluate courses.
Appropriate time must be given during the <u>'''P'''</u>lanning stage to identify and understand the needs of the student, as well as the content to teach. After the planning stage, then the developer must focus on the course delivery or <u>'''I'''</u>mplementation (including lesson plans, evaluation, etc.). Finally, the course developer needs to <u>'''E'''</u>valuate the effectiveness of the lesson in terms of implementation (perhaps planning) in order to provide feedback (improvement) for future course sessions.
All course content, teacher lesson plans, etc. should be contained on Westminster's WIKI in order to grow content, and not "re-invent the wheel". This online method will make it easier for new teachers to better prepare from a consistent and useful "support network". Other church Action Groups or departments may benefit from viewing this online organisation structure, and hence adopt and modify to meet their own needs.
