What should instructors do when a change in resources affects lesson objectives?

When a change in resources affects lesson objectives, it is important for instructors to consult with supervisory staff for adjustments. This approach ensures that any modifications made to lesson objectives align with organizational goals, standards, and the educational framework in which instructors are operating. By involving supervisory staff, instructors can obtain guidance on how best to adapt to the changes while maintaining the integrity of the course. This collaboration can also facilitate a more consistent approach to curriculum delivery and ensure that all instructors are on the same page regarding expectations and outcomes.

This process unfortunately can often become complex, as disregarding changes can lead to ineffective training that may not meet the learners’ needs. Updating objectives independently might present the risk of misalignment with the overall program structure. Waiting for student feedback before making changes can delay necessary adaptations, causing students to miss critical learning opportunities. Thus, consulting supervisory staff is the most proactive and aligned option for ensuring that lesson objectives remain relevant and achievable despite resource changes.
