Are level 1 instructors required to build a lesson plan?

• A. Yes, they must develop a lesson plan
• B. No; they are responsible for presenting lessons
• C. They must submit a written outline for each class
• D. Only if mandated by the agency

Answer: (B)

Level I instructors focus on delivering instruction using prepared material rather than creating the lesson content themselves. The emphasis is on presenting the lesson clearly, guiding activities, and facilitating learner understanding within the agency-approved materials and objectives. Developing the actual lesson plan is typically the responsibility of curriculum developers or more senior instructors, while the Level I instructor’s role is to present and facilitate what has been prepared, ensuring safety and effective learning. Some agencies may require following a provided outline or plan, but the core duty is instruction delivery, not lesson plan creation.
