Sample planning forms, needs assessment instruments, guides for writing learning outcomes, ways to select instructional strategies, assessment and evaluation forms are included.

Numerous tips are provided for instructors on how to use needs assessment data to tailor their presentations, how to engage and read audiences, how to address different learning styles and reluctant learners, and how to use instructional strategies as assessment techniques.
