U -- FACULTY DEVELOPMENT TEACHING FUNCTIONS AT FIVE AF TECH TRNG LOCATION POC Linda Byerly tel: 210/652-3260 CNT 96R0037 Sources sought for out-sourcing faculty development teaching functions at five Air Force technical training locations. The potential exists for a consolidated requirement for the teaching functions of faculty development courses at five Air Force Technical Training bases. The bases and locations are Goodfellow Air Force Base (AFB), San Angelo TX; Lackland AFB, San Antonio TX; Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls TX; Keesler AFB, Biloxi MS; and Vandenberg AFB, Lompoc CA. Contract instructors will teach a variety of courses that support job preparation to Air Force Technical school personnel at the above locations. Faculty Development teaches the knowledge and skills the instructors (who teach technical training courses to Air Force and other service students, both military and civilian), course developers, managers, and evaluators need to perform their jobs. The number of students trained annually is approximately 14,000. Course development is not a function of the contractor. However, contract instructors will be required to participate in course reviews, provide subject matter expertise in the course development/revision process and may be required to administer end-of-course critiques. A sample course listing follows: COURSE TITLE COURSE LENGTH LOCATIONS Basic Instructor Course 20 days All (Modules: 1. Fundamentals of Teaching 2. Training Methods 3.
