Define / Link pedagogical terms before introducing them: for eg. formative and summative assessment

[ashwinvis]

The lesson drops some jargon suddenly and does not describe it in enough detail. A good example is the mention of summative and formative assessment.

Understand your learners.

Brainstorm rough ideas.

Create an summative assessment to know your overall goal.

    [Think of the things your learners will be able to do at the end of the lesson]

Create formative assessments to go from the starting point to this.

    [Think of some engaging and active exercises]

Order the formative assessments (exercises) into a reasonable order.

Write just enough material to get from one assessment (exercise) to another.

Describe the course so the learners know if it is relevant to them.

There could be other terms that a trainer may not be familiar with
