APPOs are informed in Lesson Mapping… by the Performance Analysis data which captures and reports out the authentic Outputs to be produced back on the job, and how they are measured, along with the Tasks to be performed per Output. Without this near transfer isn’t likely, and far transfer, which requires Informal and Social Learning to pick up the slack after the partial instruction ends, is not guaranteed. For high stakes performance, with significant risks and/or rewards, that is unacceptable, and unnecessary.

Effective Lesson Maps are informed by Performance & K/S Analysis data. Efficient Lesson Maps are informed by Target Audience & Existing Content Analysis Data.

Go for Performance – in your Design of Instruction and Learning Experiences – to add value for your stakeholders rather than potentially subtract value.
