I turned to your company to help ensure an active and dynamic learning environment for my students. Your team of electrical professionals helped me craft Curriculum and resources that did more than supplement what we had but, brought it to a new dimension. There are many imitators of what you do but none have combined unparalleled service and trade specific knowledge like you have at Mike Holt industries.

For Instructors - How to Use This Curriculum Back to Top

Use the lesson plan we provided as an outline to help schedule the semester. You’ll find that every class is different. Depending on the students in the class, some sessions may require more time than allotted while others might go quickly. Please make notes during the semester and provide us with your feedback so we can improve this schedule.

Students learn differently, and the same methods of presentation and study don’t necessarily bring the same results for each individual. Be aware of the differences in learning styles as you present this material to the class. Some students learn better visually and need to see diagrams and illustrations. Others learn from audible input such as lectures and class group discussions. These topics will be covered as part of your instructor certification course and are an integral part of the learning environment.

Hands-on learning is an important component of education, and most of it will be done on the jobsite rather than in the classroom. However, when it’s feasible, do bring equipment and material in to show the class. Just a little “show and tell” of components that your students haven’t yet used, like control pushbuttons or AFCI breakers, can help add understanding to a lesson. When possible, try to supplement classroom instruction with field trips to view live construction projects showcasing the material being studied.

We recommend the lesson material be presented in the form of a lecture and include visual aids such as presentations, videos, student books, and whiteboards.

Involve the students as much as possible. An example is how you handle the questions that are assigned in the textbooks. After completing the questions, have your students take turns reading the question and their answers so they’re involved in the process. Don’t just read the answers to them and don’t just post the answers. Do what you can to interact with your students in discussions and allow their input.

Answer questions honestly, and don’t be afraid to tell your students if you don’t know an answer. Of course, do take time to look it up—explain that you can’t always know all the answers, but that you’re there to help them in the learning process. Make sure your students understand their responsibility in the learning process—they need to do their part by reading and studying the information in their textbooks and participating in discussions. Let them know that learning is a lifelong process, and there are always new things to learn in the electrical field.

You’ll be successful as an instructor if you have a heart for your students. Help them develop a respect for the electrical profession and a love for learning.
